I was experiencing severe tooth pain, and Dr. Tudor kindly managed to fit me into his schedule with little advance notice. He was extremely kind, attentive, and professional throughout the entire appointment. I ended up having a root canal, and everything went very well. Dr. Tudor made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. He is truly an excellent dentist, and his team is also very friendly, helpful, and professional. I am very grateful for the care I received and highly recommend Dr. Tudor and his team. Thank you so much!

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming receptionist who immediately put me at ease. The level of care and attention I received throughout my visit was truly exemplary. Dr. Sterpu was professional, attentive, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made the whole experience feel comfortable and reassuring. It’s clear that patient care is a top priority here, and the friendly atmosphere makes a real difference.

FAQ
Frequently Ask Questions

We recommend arriving 10 minutes early for your first appointment at AJ Dental. This gives you enough time to:
Complete any remaining forms
Update your medical history
Settle in before your examination
Ask any questions you may have
Arriving a little early helps us start your appointment on time and ensures your first visit feels relaxed and stress‑free.
If you have been advised by your doctor or specialist to take premedication before dental treatment, please let our team know before your appointment. This helps us prepare properly and ensure your visit is safe and comfortable.
You should:
- Inform us of the type of premedication you need
- Bring any instructions provided by your GP or consultant
- Share a list of your current medications
- Take the premedication exactly as prescribed, unless your doctor advises otherwise
If you’re unsure whether you need premedication, we recommend checking with your doctor first. Our team is always here to guide you and coordinate your care so your treatment at AJ Dental is smooth and stress‑free.
To help us make your first visit smooth and efficient, please bring:
- A valid photo ID
- Your medical history or any relevant medical documents
- A list of your current medications
- Your PPS number (if applicable)
- Any dental X‑rays taken within the last 12 months (if you have them)
- Your insurance details if you plan to claim through dental insurance
- Your referral letter (if another dentist or doctor referred you)
If you’re unsure about anything, just let us know — our team is always happy to guide you and make your first visit as comfortable as possible.
Your first appointment at AJ Dental typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes. This gives our team enough time to:
- Review your medical and dental history
- Carry out a full dental examination
- Take X‑rays if needed
- Discuss any concerns or goals you may have
- Create a personalised treatment plan
If you require additional assessments or have more complex concerns, your visit may take a little longer. Our goal is to give you the time and attention you need so your first experience with us feels relaxed, thorough, and unrushed.
Regular dental visits are essential for keeping your mouth healthy and preventing problems before they become painful or expensive to treat. Even if your teeth feel fine, many issues develop quietly and can only be detected early by a dentist.
Routine check‑ups help with:
- Early detection of cavities, gum disease, and infections
- Professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar you can’t reach at home
- Monitoring changes in your teeth, gums, and overall oral health
- Preventing bigger problems, such as tooth loss or complex treatments
- Keeping your smile bright and healthy with personalised advice
Most patients benefit from a visit every six months, but your dentist may recommend a different schedule based on your individual needs.
Regular care keeps your mouth healthy, your smile confident, and your treatments simple and affordable.
Preventing cavities is a combination of good daily habits and regular professional care. Small changes make a big difference in keeping your teeth strong and healthy.
You can reduce your risk of cavities by:
- Brushing twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste
- Flossing daily to remove plaque between the teeth
- Limiting sugary snacks and drinks, especially between meals
- Drinking plenty of water, ideally fluoridated
- Using mouthwash if recommended by your dentist
- Visiting AJ Dental regularly for check‑ups and professional cleanings
Considering fluoride treatments or sealants if advised by your dentist
Consistent care helps prevent decay, protects your enamel, and keeps your smile healthy for the long term.
