Most people are not thrilled to visit the dentist, even if they’re just visiting for a routine examination and cleaning. However, aiming to visit the dentist at least twice a year is pretty important for the health of your teeth and gums.
At Harley Street Dental Clinic, your trusted dental clinic in W1, we appreciate that not everyone is delighted to see the dentist, therefore we will strive to make your experience as enjoyable as possible. Here are some pointers for scheduling your next visit:
Is there a better time in the year for visiting the dental clinic in W1?
As crazy as it may sound, dental clinics have busy and slow seasons, just like most businesses. According to research, new patients are more likely to join a dental clinic at the end of the summer in preparation for the new academic year. Other busy months include December, January, February and April when most breaks occur. If you wish to plan your bi-annual examination without stressing about the number of people you will encounter, then scheduling a visit during the autumn, late spring or early summer and winter may be a good idea.
Is there an ideal day or ideal time in the day?
If you are not bound by a 9-5 job and you have to schedule a dental appointment, chances are that you will be better off scheduling an early day appointment. The dental clinic in W1 can be busy throughout the week – however, Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays tend to be busier days than others according to various studies. If your appointment is expected to last longer or you need to undergo treatment for a complex problem, your dentist will ensure that there will be plenty of time for your appointment.
When should I see a dentist?
While scheduling an appointment at 9.00 am on a Friday might be ideal, we will provide great care whenever you come in – even if you ask for an emergency appointment. Instead of looking for an ideal day and time to see us, you should schedule an appointment as soon as possible if you haven’t seen a dentist in more than 6 months or if you are suffering from pain.
