Sensitivity can be caused by many things and the dental hygiene therapist is the person to diagnose the cause of sensitivity. Smileworks have an extremely busy and effective hygiene department. We only hire dental hygiene therapists because they are highly qualified and can help our patients with gum health and sensitivity.
Any pain in your mouth is usually bad news so it’s important to see the hygienist regularly so we can spot small problems before they become big ones. Here at Smileworks our Therapists are extremely well qualified and take your gum health and happiness very seriously. Patients love coming for their routine appointments and feel confident they’ve got their dental health under control and are being looked after by the best in the business.

Smileworks Dentist totally exceeded my expectations! From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease. After my scaling and polish, my smile is absolutely radiant again. Rebecca and Steph were fantastic, professional and friendly, made the experience... enjoyable. The atmosphere in the clinic is relaxed, which helped calm any nerves. I can't recommend Smileworks enough.read more

Had a consultation with Brian last week, who instantly put me at ease, who came up with a treatment plan, worked out the price of everything there and then, and was able to explain everything in simpler and more understandable way. Was put under no... pressure whatsoever to book a following appointment, but I did so straight away due to being made to feel extremely comfortable.Had my first 1hr hygiene appointment with Zoe & Tay and the difference they’ve made in 1hr is ridiculous, came out with a completely different smile to what I went in with. They made me feel comfortable from the outset and throughout the treatment, explaining what the plan was. They’re excellent at taking your mind off things while you undergo treatment, whether it’s through small talk, music in the background or Zoe’s exceptional singing! Brian from my consultation coming in to check on my progress was a really nice touch also, shows how much they actually care and take an interest in you.Couldn’t recommend Smileworks enough, the whole team I’ve met so far are brilliant and work miracles.read more

I went to another dentist in the city centre (probably considered a big competitor to Smileworks) at first because I was sick of NHS dentists so thought I'd rather pay more for service and convenience, but the experience was awful. I then came... across Smileworks and was helped by Marnie at first who was amazing. Marnie walked me through all of my options and explained everything really well. She convinced me that Smileworks was definitely worth a go. I had my first appointment with Eduardo who was very thorough and professional, but also really friendly. Him and Marnie helped me get set up with a plan based on what they had found, but also making sure it worked for what I wanted to get out of it and in line with my wedding plans. This was followed up with Emma for a hygiene appointment which made me feel like I had a new set of teeth alone! She also gave great advice on how to change my habits and best look after my teeth moving forward. I then had a few appointments with Brian for some composite fillings. I hate fillings but Brian made it really easy to get through and did a great job. Everyone I've dealt with so far at Smileworks has clearly taken huge pride in their work. Service is really personal and clearly a massive focus here, and all of my appointments have started bang on time. The other dentist made me feel like another potential sale and had me moving from waiting room to waiting room for hours. I'm back at Smileworks soon for some more work and then braces with Eduardo, can't wait to see the end result and I've got no doubts that this team will continue to deliver!read more

Good work guys 🙏🏽read more

I saw Delia for a hygienist appointment. I received an exceptional treatment, she thoroughly explained what she was going to do and was gentle, but thorough all the way through. At the end of the session she explained how to use the interdental... brushes properly and gave me advice on how to maintain a good oral hygiene. I had had gum bleeds before the treatment and after they stopped straight away. I recommend her services wholeheartedly.read more

Healthy Gums
Sensitivity can often be caused by underlying problems with the gums, and maintaining healthy gums is extremely important if you have sensitive teeth. When you come for your routine appointment, our super-qualified therapists and hygienists will be able to diagnose the problem and figure out precisely what is making your teeth hurt. Once we have the cause then it’s just a matter of planning and carrying out the treatment. Gum health is something that you need to ensure in your own bathroom and your treating practitioners will advise you of the best ways to do this and also provide you with everything you need to ensure beautiful, healthy gums long into the future.

Sensitivity can be caused by infected or inflamed tooth roots and this is something that needs dealing with right away. Sometimes a little bit of sensitivity can spell big trouble in your roots and this could mean endodontic treatment. This is where your dentist will remove the infected root and replace it with an inert filling material to stop pain and prevent further infection or damage.
In an emergency or if you have pain you can call us to make an emergency appointment or follow the link here: emergency dental treatment.
