Dental Check Ups
Regular dental examinations are important. They enable your dentist to indicate any potential problems early and monitor your soft tissues for any changes.
Why should you attend your check up?
Keeping on top of your oral health can help to prevent problems, which means that you can reduce the amount or treatments such as filling, crowns, etc you need to have, which saves you time and money.
What do we look for during your check-up?
During your examination your dentist isn’t only checking your teeth but also your gums and soft tissues. The dentist will check your teeth for decays (occasionally x-rays are necessary) and will monitor you soft tissues and glands for any changes compared to your last appointment, this helps them identify thing like; problems with your thyroid and cancer. Unfortunately, the number of people diagnosed with mouth cancer in the UK is on the increase, but our routine cancer screenings can identify problems sooner and can save your life.
The dentist will also advise you on how to look after your teeth and gums to ensure your mouth stays healthy.
Children also need regular appointments to get them used to the dentist and just like adults children can develop problems like decays. The dentist will advice children on oral heath regimes and help them prevent problems in the future.

Testimonials
I recently joined Stourcote after a traumatic experience with another dentist. From the outset, they were really welcoming & listened to my concerns & demonstrated that they wanted to help.
I’ve now seen Manisha a few times & even though I’m a ridiculously nervous patient (I started crying as soon as I sat in the chair today), she was so lovely and understanding. I felt safe, in control & comfortable.
I will never enjoy visiting the dentist but Stourcote have made it manageable for me, so I can’t recommend highly enough.
I have suffered some awful mouth sores over the past week and I was pleased with the very prompt appointment today (Monday) that I was provided with, having raised an online request only on Saturday.
On Saturday evening, one of the doctors (Dr Jandu?) phoned me and helped me with a recommended course of action, and he followed through by making me an appointment with Matthew Walker today. I was greeted in a friendly, upbeat manner by the dental nurse and I felt very reassured after today’s visit. Mr Walker will phone me in a week to see how things are progressing.
Overall, an excellent level of care and all “very joined up”.
Lovely, clean, and friendly service. Very covid secure. Anne was always helpful and followed up on any queries efficiently. She is a credit to the practice. Viz has worked wonders on my teeth. Charlotte was friendly and professional today, too. Thanks all.
Brilliant service! I wasn’t a patient at this practice when I phoned for my initial appointment, but I had a dental emergency and was not getting the right care at my previous practice. Stourcote Dental fitted me in for an appointment quickly, identified what needed to be done, and sorted me out. They were friendly and caring from start to finish. Everyone I dealt with was lovely, I’ve never had such great dental care. I’m terrified of going to the dentist, so extra special thanks for taking care of me. I’ll be a lot less nervous when I come back!
Mani and Abby looked after me today and did a marvellous job. Very attentive and cheerful, and I look forward to seeing their smiling faces in six months at my check-up. Keep up the good work.
Excellent service and COVID safety procedures are all in place. On-time appointment and friendly team, as always.
I’ve been patient, and my children have too, and I must say that the reception staff, especially Ann are wonderful. So helpful, friendly and polite all the time. Their customer service is second to none.
Viz the dentist I’ve been seeing is amazing so kind and caring and a perfectionist. Thank you for your hard work and adapting so swiftly all the time.
