Accurately, not reassuringly
Nothing sharp happens at a first check-up. We use a mirror and a blunt-ended probe that we rest against each tooth and slide along it — you will feel tapping and a faint scrape, and you will hear us calling numbers to the nurse. That is a charting shorthand, not a verdict. The genuinely uncomfortable part is holding your mouth open for a few minutes at a stretch. Close it whenever you want. Nobody is going to sigh at you.
The stop signal
Raise your left hand and we stop — then, not at a convenient moment. If something feels sharp during treatment it almost always means the anaesthetic needs topping up, which takes two minutes and is completely ordinary. Saying so is not a nuisance and it is not being difficult.
Nervous about the dentist?
Turn this on and we will explain everything — what each treatment actually feels like, what the noises are, and how to make us stop. It stays on as you move around the site.
