Six-monthly dental check-ups have been customary in the General Dental Service (GDS) in the United Kingdom since the inception of the NHS. In recent years there has been significant debate over the timing of recall intervals for dental check-ups, and this has coincided with a move towards making NHS dental services in England and Wales more oriented to prevention and more clinically effective in meeting patients’ needs.
The recommended shortest and longest intervals between oral health reviews are as follows:
A recall interval of less than 3 months is not normally needed for a routine dental recall. A patient may need to be seen more frequently for specific reasons such as disease management, ongoing courses of treatment, emergency dental interventions, or episodes of specialist care, which are outside the scope of an oral health review.
Recall intervals of no longer than 12 months give the opportunity for delivering and reinforcing preventative advice and for raising awareness of the importance of good oral health. This particularly important in young children, to lay the foundations for life-long dental health.
Recall intervals for patients who have repeatedly demonstrated that they can maintain oral health and who are not considered to be at risk of or from oral disease may be extended over time up to an interval of 24 months. Intervals of longer than 24 months are undesirable because they could diminish the professional relationship between dentist and patient, and people’s lifestyles may change.

Six month smiles is a revolutionary orthodontic system that provides a fast and economical way for adults to begin smiling with confidence. Regardless of age or gender, EVERYONE should be able to smile with confidence!
How can the Six Month Smiles system straighten teeth in only six months?
Six month Smiles braces and wires are barely noticeable – they blend very well with the colour of your teeth. These definitely aren’t metal braces.
The system employs new and specific orthodontic technology that provides for safe, comfortable and efficent tooth movement. Additionally, the aim of six month smiles is to correct the items that you are unhappy with and not make time consuming changes to the way your back teeth bite together.
Six month smiles involves light forces to gently move your teeth to their new position. The process is comfortable. The short treatment times are not achieved by using high forces on the teeth.
Will i have to wear a retainer?
With all orthodontic treatment, a retainer is necessary to maintain the straighter position of your teeth. If you don’t want to wear a removable retainer, you can have a bonded retainer placed behind your teeth. There are a variety of options that you can choose from according to your personal preference and situation.
Does it really finish in 6months?
Six months is the average treatment time. Most patients finish right around 6 months, but treatment times range from 4-9 months.

Our dentists have noticed more and more patients are complaining of sensitive teeth when attending their routine examination. There are many factors which contribute towards sensitivity. These could include:
. Improper tooth brushing technique. The gums may recede through overbrushing with the wrong toothbrush technique. We would recommend a soft to medium toothbrush with a small head, brushing in small circular motions. Do not be tempted to brush when using an electric toothbrush, they are designed to do the work for you.
. Acidic foods/drinks. Over consumption can cause acid erosion which will make the teeth sensitive. Such foods and drinks are advised at meal times. We also advise to reduce snacking throughout the day as this would prevent the frequency of an acid attack.
. Age causing the gums to naturally recede
There are desensitizing products avaliable to purchase such as toothpastes and mouthwashes. Your dentist will be able to advise you on the most suitable product for your individual needs.
