Britons looking for the best standard of oral healthcare have been advised to visit a private dentist.
Judith Husband, dental surgeon at Bullingdon prison, Oxfordshire, told the Times that whenever he has a problem with his teeth, he visits a private dentist as they are able to spend more time with patients than their NHS counterparts.
He told the publication: "I’m a nervous patient, so I always see the same dentist every six months and my hygienist every three months. They get to know you as a person, and your mouth."
Malaysian newspaper the Star recently reported that people could cut down the expense of costly emergency dentistry procedures by scheduling regular appointments with an oral health professional.
The article noted that scaling and polishing is a faster and easier process when less stains are present on teeth and having regular check-ups will help ensure this is the case.
