About the Business
There has been a Dental Practice at 34 High Street in Ipswich for over 70 years. It has been run by several dentists over the years, with the previous owner establishing a centre for nervous patients. A few sessions per week used to be dedicated to dental services under sedation or general anaesthetic.

Dental examination:
A dental examination is the process where your dentist will examine your teeth and gums to check how healthy they are and also assess if there are any problem areas within your mouth. If any problems are identified, your dentist will advise the most suitable course of treatment available to you.
What does the examination process involve?
During the dental examination your dentist will:
- Check your jaw and face to see that all appear healthy.
- Look at other places in and around the mouth i.e. no just the teeth and gums to ensure that they are in a healthy condition. He will typically check the back of your throat, roof of the mouth and your tongue.
- Check your teeth and gums for signs of decay, disease, wear, damage and correct alignment.
- Compare the condition of your teeth and gums to the last visit by examining patient notes and possibly x-rays. This is to assess if any additional treatment is necessary and to check progress of any treatment programme you may be undergoing.
The importance of regular dental examinations:
It is important to undergo regular dental examinations, typically every 6 months to ensure that your teeth, gums and mouth remain healthy. If any problem is identified it can be addressed quickly before it becomes more complex and requiring prolonged treatment.
