New Year New Start

Now that the Christmas festivities are over it’s time to start making those New Year resolutions and thinking about a healthier lifestyle after all the excess! People often overlook the health of their mouth and teeth and maybe a dental checkup is not at the top of a list of priorities for things to do in the New Year. As we have discussed in previous articles it is really important to get a dentist to check your teeth, gums, the lining of your mouth and neck at least once every twelve months. By visiting the dentist regularly it allows the early detection of tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer and sometimes diseases that affect other parts of the body but show symptoms in the mouth. The dentist and the rest of the dental team can also give advice to reduce the risk of the problems mentioned above. One of the factors that may put a lot of people off going to the dentist is cost. Knowing how much to budget for dental treatment in the current climate is very important. At the Fitz Park Dental Practice we work with Denplan and have achieved Denplan Excel accreditation. We offer two payment plans to our patients. For £12.44/month patients receive the following benefits: • No large amounts of treatment needed before joining • Six monthly examinations and hygienist visits. This ensures ongoing preventative care for long term dental health. • 20% discount on private treatments • 10% discount on all oral hygiene products purchased in the Practice • World wide trauma & emergency call-out insurance • Extended payment facility for large cost items Alternatively patients can simply pay £5.09/month and receive the benefits below: • No large amounts of treatment needed before joining

• Twelve monthly examinations • World wide trauma and emergency call-out insurance • Extended payment facility for large cost items Very few things can be bought for as little as 16p/day and this is a small price to pay for the peace of mind that your oral health is being monitored and dental advice is readily available. We always aim to see patients who have dental pain on the day that they contact the Practice. As well as routine dental treatments, preventative programmes and hygienist services we are able to provide more advanced services such as: • Dental implants • Crowns, bridges and veneers • Tooth whitening We pride ourselves on being a family run Practice with a dedicated team who genuinely care about each individuals oral health and treatment. Come and meet our friendly and caring team who aim to put you at ease in an environment which allows easy communication in a professional but relaxed environment. Whether your New Year’s resolution is to simply have a dental checkup on a regular basis and establish a preventative programme for your teeth and mouth or make a change to improve your smile the team at the Fitz Park Dental Practice is able to provide it. As a New Year promotion we are offering free consultations to patients who book an appointment in February. Simply quote the Lakes Local when ringing to book your appointment. Happy New Year from all the Team at the Fitz Park Dental Practice.
