1. Initial assessment:

Jenny Trotter
The hygienist I saw was quite formidable but delightful when I found out that she had a problem with cakes and sweet things, she melted when I said wonderful sugar kept her and probably the entire profession in work😉! 10/10.
Excellent treatment by Adam. Always thorough, very gentle and explains results carefully.
Thanks to all.
Sally took the time to explain things to me and addressed the things that made me anxious, resulting in a positive experience.
They are a credit to the team and I would recommend Sally if you do have anxieties around your dental visits, she is amazing!

From the second you arrive at reception you are made welcome, everyone is kind, friendly and supportive, the little touch of someone coming down to reception to meet you and walk you to the consultation room means that you are already quite relaxed with the chat on the way. Throughout my many consultations I never felt rushed or hurried, a very relaxing and chatty experience every time. Adam and later Tom and Robin explained the various processes, offered alternatives and ideas I had not thought of at all. Detailed reports, charts, xrays etc appear in my inbox before I'm even back home, all of which explain everything succinctly.
Well done to the whole team, 10/10, I could not wish for better
I was there for a routine check up but the dentist found time to investigate an ear difficulty that may be caused by my teeth or jaw. He was thorough, knowledgeable and unhurried in his checks. He referred me on, and the practice gave me a very prompt follow on appointment with the appropriate expert.
The dental hygienist was gentle and took on board my preferred way of removing plaque, ie not drowning my mouth and throat with water. Excellent treatment.
Would recommend you to register here if your looking for a Professional team to take care of your dental needs.
Before I attended the practice, I was contacted by phone with a supporting E mail, to explain how Moody Terrace Dental Practice intended to keep their patients and themselves safe, relating to the Corona19 pandemic.
When I arrived for my appointment, I followed the protocol required of me, which was all very dignified, I felt very safe.
My extraction went well, thank you Adam for your care and professonism. 🦷
Highly recommend - sedation his speciality !

Private patient, was given an appointment 2 hrs after calling, crown refitted, xrays taken and toothache checked all in half an hour. Cait a very professional and knowledgeable dentist took the time to explain in detail what happening in a very calm and reassuring atmosphere... Less expensive than I imagined and worth every penny.
Would recommend
Thank you.
A pay scheme would be helpful for costly appointments.

Dental hygiene FAQS
Every six months, but this will be tailored by your hygienist according to your oral health requirements. For more severe cases, it could be every few weeks.
Not usually. Some people feel a little sensitivity here and there. Our dental hygienists are careful, though, and if you’re fearful, just let them know. They’re good at accommodating.
Yes. Bleeding when brushing, especially if it keeps happening. You should note if there is a bit of puffiness too. Some people notice a smell, but not always. It sort of creeps in slowly.
Absolutely. It helps if they get used to it when they are young. We usually have a simple, gentle clean and talk them through brushing. It makes a big difference later.
- Flossing once a day
- Using fluoride toothpaste
- Avoiding too much sugar between meals
- Mouthwash can also be useful
- Check-ups every six months can catch things before they become problems.
