Even if you think that your smile is cavity free, telltale signs of pain do not present until quite late when emergency restorative work may need to be done. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-aqsf\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">This can be expensive and we would like you never to experience any kind of pain in your teeth.

Dentistry is changing and it is not like it was some decades ago where we were renowned for \u2018drilling and filling\u2019. High quality preventive care allows us to work with our patients to create a system that prevents us from needing to get that far.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-7lue0\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"><strong>Drilling and filling!

This can result in patients putting off that all important biannual visit, which can lead to restorative work needing to be done, perpetuating that anxiety and fear. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-akvd1\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Your dentist in West Byfleet is working hard to combat this vicious cycle by educating where possible and creating a warm, inviting and professional atmosphere for you here at our practice.
