Frequently Asked Questions

Which is the best toothpaste to use?

Any toothpaste containing fluoride that you enjoy the taste of is perfectly fine. Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and protect against decay, making it an essential ingredient in your daily oral care.

Do I need to use a mouthwash?

Using a mouthwash is optional. While it can leave a pleasant taste, it should never replace brushing. Most mouthwashes don’t offer significant benefits, and some are highly acidic, which can erode enamel over time.

Is an electric toothbrush more effective than a manual one?

Both can clean your teeth effectively. Electric toothbrushes are useful for people with limited mobility in their hands or arms, but they don’t clean teeth faster—brushing for 4–5 minutes is still recommended, regardless of the type.

How safe are dental x-rays?

Dental x-rays involve very low radiation exposure and are considered safe. Modern equipment and digital imaging further reduce radiation levels. We also use film holders to avoid repeat exposures.

Can you conduct remote consultations?

Absolutely! Our dentists can offer remote consultations to discuss your concerns and suggest possible treatment options. Ideal for those unable to visit the clinic in person.

Do you accept referrals?

Yes! We’re always happy to welcome new patients. Our practice has grown through word-of-mouth recommendations and referrals from other dental professionals.

Is it important to replace missing teeth?

Yes—beyond aesthetics, missing teeth can cause bone loss, facial sagging, and lead to further tooth decay. Replacing them helps maintain oral health and prevents surrounding teeth from shifting or becoming unstable.

What dental problems do you treat?

We offer a wide range of treatments, including: Teeth cleaning and whitening

Bite correction
Enamel restoration
Dental implants and prosthetics
And much more

What precautions do you take to ensure patient safety?

Your safety is our top priority. We use: Advanced sterilisation systems

Face masks and gloves
Regular patient health checks
Strict hygiene protocols throughout the clinic

Is dental treatment painful?

Most treatments are painless thanks to modern anaesthetics. Injections may cause brief discomfort, but we offer topical numbing gels (especially for children) to ease the process.

What is your complaint procedure?

We take all concerns seriously and aim to resolve them quickly and professionally. If you have feedback or a complaint, please contact our Practice Manager on 01483 573 907.

    Thank you to Dr Sen and her wonderful team today. Helping my very nervous husband with an emergency tooth extraction. From call to the tooth being out was 2.5 hours, and we are both impressed with the service from everyone.

      Alsa Gurung

      My mom’s always been nervous when it comes to dental anaesthetic injection. But after seeing Dr Sen today. She has been very happy, explaining me how she did not feel anything and was very happy about her treatment. Mom’s looking forward for her next visit. ☺️ Thank you Dr Sen and nurse for looking after my mom.

        Shen, who is new to the practice was absolutely excellent. I have had two visits to see her for treatment and each of them have been a very postive experience. A lovely practice. I would thoroughly recommend Guildford Dental Practice.
