If you have a dental emergency, telephone reception, where possible, during opening hours.

Rest for a few hours following treatment and avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day. You can help avoid infection by starting to rinse your mouth 24 hours after the procedure.

Hi guys, like most people who are scared of the Dentist, I was on their team, dreading any appointments, even though I Knew that I needed dentistry work done. I've had loads of dental work done over the years with some experiences that I try hard to forget.
Well here's the GREAT NEWS đź‘Ť. Richard at COVENTRY DENTIST LESMAHAGOW, is without doubt the best dentist I've ever been to and I've had everything that you could think of done to my teeth. Fast approaching 70 years old, I lost my last tooth earlier this year, so I was waiting for an NHS bottom denture, which was sorted out by Richard over

I’ve recently moved to the area and I have a phobia of dentists, I hadn’t seen one in fifteen years until 2015, my last dentist was an oral butcher, while friendly she really didn’t seem to give a flying frankfurter and just wanted the job done rushed, one time the anaesthetic hadn’t kicked in properly yet or I wasn’t given enough and I could still feel all the twists and turns and bones crunching, it was a horrible experience. She just seemed to be there for the money, with Ian he gives advice on how to help take care of your teeth beyond the brushing, he’s honest and really friendly
