Poor dental health risks

Is fear making you neglect your teeth?

Corporate dental insurers Unum Dental carried out some research last year that revealed some interesting facts. According to a survey of more than 2,000 private sector employees, more than a fifth (24%) of British workers say that a fear of feeling pain or discomfort is the reason they avoid the dentist.

Women were found to be more afraid, with over a quarter (27%) declaring that they put off the recommended two dental health examinations a year out of fear of pain, compared to 22% of men.

Poor dental health risks

Poor dental health is linked to heart disease, bacterial lung infections, premature births, diabetes and strokes, meaning regular visits for dental health reviews are vital to maintaining good general health and dental wellbeing.

We know that it has been difficult to keep on top of regular dental visits over the past few months due to the government’s decision to close dental practices. Cherrybank Dental Spa is delighted to have reopened and we have heavily invested in anti-virus protection, on top of our usual strict decontamination measures to help put your mind at rest.

Please don’t neglect your dental wellbeing because of dental phobia. At Cherrybank Dental Spa we find that even with the most nervous of patients, all they need is time and kindness. Therefore, our principal dentist  Chris, ensures our appointments are calm, unhurried and welcoming.

I want to start by saying that phoning cherrybank was the best thing I ever done. I’ve always been self conscious about my front teeth and have wanted to get them fixed but after a bad experience with another dentist I was scared. I phoned and spoke to Tammy who really made me feel at ease. I went in and explained about my past experiences and that I was worried my health conditions might be a problem but she reassured me that I would be okay and went through all the different options! I had damaged to my back teeth from my seizures and grinding them so they offered to take them out for me for free which really meant a lot! I’ve been back over the past couple months having work done and every time they have always been lovely and welcoming! I really can’t explain the difference in my self confidence and happiness even after the first appointment so I can’t wait to see how I will look and feel at the end! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is nervous or has had bad experiences in the past because they really take their time and make sure you are okay and things are going at a pace you are comfortable with!

At my first ever appointment with Rachel Steel at Cherrybank Dental Spa, she assessed the amount of work that was required to be done on my teeth. Rachel, as well as being very friendly and pleasant, came over as being extremely knowledgeable too. She was happy to share with me her reasoning regarding the nature of the work that needed to be carried out on my teeth. Where there were options regarding just how the work could be carried out, she was happy to explain to me each of the options, along with the possible implications of each option.Today she commenced doing the actual work on my teeth. My appointment was to be a one-hour one, but in view of the amount of work that was needed, Rachel asked me if I had the extra time, should the appointment end up being longer than one hour. It was completely convenient to me. As it happened, I was with Rachel for an hour and twenty minutes in total, but it certainly did not feel as long as that.If I was worried about anything at all, it was with how skilled she would be with giving me the two injections that were required. I need not have worried though, as they were completely pain-free. Rachel worked on six of my teeth in total, and I have to say that it was not an unpleasant experience at all. It usually takes time for a patient to feel completely at ease with a dentist. For me, Rachel earned that top spot long before the appointment was even over. Assisting Rachel was dental nurse, Luca. Luca was skilful and efficient, and she also deserves to be given top marks.

I really can't recommend Nik & Cherrybank enough, they are really excellent.

Excellent experience as always! From the minute you enter the practice you are treated with a smile, attention and care. I had a consultation appointment with the dentist. He took the time to explain to me what my situation was, answered all of my questions and presented to me all options moving forward. This is a practice where everyone goes the extra mile to care for the patients.
