General & routine dentistry
Caring for smiles of all ages
At Barrowford Dental Practice, general dentistry is the foundation of everything we do. Our team is here to help you maintain healthy teeth and gums with consistent, prevention-led care that’s tailored to your needs.
We’re proud to treat patients of all ages and offer modern techniques such as digital intraoral scanning, which allows for quicker, more comfortable impressions. Whether it’s your child’s first visit or your own routine check-up, we’ll support you every step of the way.
General dental care
Routine care for adults and children in Barrowford
Your general dental appointment begins with a full oral health check, including an assessment of your teeth, gums, soft tissues, bite and jaw joint. We look for signs of decay, wear, gum disease and oral cancer, and take small x-rays if needed to spot problems early. Everything is explained clearly and calmly, and we’ll always give you the opportunity to ask questions.
We also care for many children and families, creating a relaxed and friendly environment for younger patients. Appointments focus on prevention and positive habits, and we may recommend protective treatments like fluoride or fissure sealants. Where impressions are required, our digital intraoral scanner replaces traditional moulds with quick, comfortable 3D scanning.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I have a dental check-up?
Most people benefit from seeing the dentist every six months, but this can vary depending on your needs. We’ll recommend the best interval for you based on your risk of issues like decay or gum disease. Regular visits help keep small problems from turning into bigger ones.
Do you offer dental care for children?
Yes, we see children of all ages and encourage families to bring little ones in early. We focus on building trust and keeping visits positive and informative. This helps children grow up confident in the dental chair and less likely to develop problems later on.
What is an intraoral scanner and how is it used?
An intraoral scanner takes a digital 3D scan of your mouth instead of using messy impression materials. It’s quick, clean, and far more comfortable for most patients. The scans also allow us to show you what we see and plan treatment with more precision.
What if I haven’t seen a dentist in years?
There’s no judgement here – we see many patients who haven’t been in for a long time. We’ll start with a full check-up and have an open conversation about any concerns you have. Our team is here to help you feel relaxed, supported and fully in control of your care.
