Have you made some New Year resolutions? Maybe more exercise, better diet, stopping smoking?

Maybe you are planning to take better care of your general health and your dental health?

A great way to start 2015 and keep your resolutions going would be to consider joining a Denplan Payment Plan with Pennington Dental.

What is Denplan?

Denplan is the largest provider of Dental plans in the UK. By joining one of our payment plans at Pennington Dental you get the chance to budget for your private dental care with predictable monthly payments plus you are part of a well respected organisation with a wealth of experience and support. You are also taking a step towards better dental health and better health for you now and in the future.

Dr Fuz Jamall has a limited number of openings at the moment if you would like to consider changing your care with him to one of our plans. If you join during January and February 2015 you will also receive free membership of The Gourmet Society worth £69.95.

The Gourmet Society membership gives you discounts of up to 50% at over 6,500 top restaurants in the UK as well as discounts at family fun attractions.

Our payment plans start at £12.99 a month and you can even join this plan without seeing the dentist for an assessment. You may need some ongoing assessment to decide how may times you will need to be seen over a year but this can be done when you come in for your dental health check.

Who joins this type of plan?

• Patients who have just completed a course of treatment and want to benefit from all the preventive dental care available.
• Patients who value the importance of regular dental visits and the importance of preventive care.
• Patients who want to keep their treatment needs to a minimum by embracing modern preventive dentistry.

What is different about these types of plans?

• The emphasis is on prevention of dental disease.
• We are able to spend more time discussing how to keep your teeth healthy and to show you how to do this.
• We are able to spend time using modern preventive techniques to keep your mouth and teeth healthy for life.

As part of this plan you will see the dentist and the dental hygienist twice a year or more if the dentist thinks that is necessary for you to keep your mouth healthy. All your costs for preventive dentistry are covered including any x-rays you may need and all the treatment and advice received from your dental hygienist.

You also receive full cover for dental emergencies both in the UK and worldwide.

What happens if I need to have a filling or some treatment on my teeth?

Joining our Denplan payment plans allows you to receive a 15% discount on all our private dental treatments

What does a dental hygienist do?

Dental hygienists are specially trained to work as part of the dental team, to give care to patients.

They play an important part in dental health care and are mainly concerned with preventive dental health and treating gum disease, showing you correct home care and helping to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

The hygienist’s main work is to treat and prevent gum disease by professionally cleaning your teeth and treating your gums and, probably more importantly, by showing you how to care for your teeth and gums at home.

Do I need to see a dental hygienist, can the dentist not carry out this work?

Hygienists are experts at this kind of work and at Pennington Dental we have three hygienists, Karen, Jenna and Meena. They all work very closely with the dentists and the rest of the team to ensure our patients get the best of care and the best prevention to ensure healthy teeth and gums for life.
