emergency dental patients<\/a> who are in pain. With this in mind, please do, even at this busy time, try to keep your routine appointments. This not only allows us to run an efficient dental practice, but means that your teeth and gums receive regular care and attention from your dentist.<\/p>\nFailing to keep an appointment almost inevitably means that the patient doesn\u2019t get around to booking another one for quite some time. Instead, therefore, of having the teeth and gums\u00a0 checked at intervals short enough to treat any problems with only minor dental surgery; any problem is likely to have advanced and may well need more invasive procedures, or potentially even extractions.<\/p>\n
Minor problematic tooth<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
In January, it will come as no surprise to hear patients tell us that their tooth was \u2018playing up\u2019 a bit before Christmas but they thought they\u2019d leave it until after the holidays were over. The lucky few may get away with a pain free Christmas if they did this, but unfortunately some will have been in significant pain at a time when dental practices across the UK are closed. Any discomfort can certainly take the edge off the Christmas festivities as some of us can no doubt attest!<\/p>\n
The New Year<\/h3>\n
Even if you don\u2019t fall into either of the two above categories, there are still plenty of reasons why you might like to pay a visit to our Burton dental practice. One of the most common reasons at this time of the year is to \u2018spruce up\u2019 the teeth for the New Year. Our teeth whitening procedure is a very popular personal Xmas present for some of our patients, and one which helps to give you a bright start to 2016.<\/p>\n
