Fantastic experience as always. Welcoming, professional and knowledgeable I received the treatments that allowed me to feel confident about the health of my teeth. Many thanks to Emicare for the amazing support. I’d highly recommend.
I would very much recommend this dental practice. My daughter had a great experience with Madalina.Madalina really took the time to listen to my daughter's concerns and didn't reassure her unnecessary until she had undertaken a full examination. The appointment was unrushed and everything thoroughly explained.Given the cost of running a dental practice, the fees were also very reasonable.
I visited the dental practice yesterday. I found the place amazing. The clinic was very clean and modern. The staff were so friendly.The dentist was so professional and thorough and took time to explain to make me understand what is going on with my teeth and found the route of my problem. She gave me several options. Would highly recommend.
It was my first time at Emicare and I have to say it was a fantastic experience. All staff were very friendly and professional, firstly being warmly greeted at reception. I was seen by Dr Madalina and her professionalism and knowledge of dentistry is second to none. She explains everything and doesn't make you feel rushed showing me Emicare genuinely care about their customers. Her assistant was also very pleasant and professional. Also the surgery is modern and super clean which I believe says alot within itself. I'm so glad I've found my new go to dentist and would highly recommend Emicare.

Jaw problems, bruxism and grinding FAQs in Potters Bar
From symptoms to treatment options, here are answers to common questions from patients across Potters Bar, EN6 and Hertfordshire.
What is my bite and why does it matter?
The way your teeth meet when your top and bottom jaws close on top of each other is known as your bite. If your teeth don’t fit together properly, you could have malocclusion, which may affect teeth, gums, jaw joints and facial muscles.
What symptoms can jaw problems and TMJ issues cause?
Misalignment can lead to clenching and grinding, facial pain, headaches, discomfort, clicking when chewing, migraines, neck and shoulder pain and even back pain.
How is teeth grinding treated?
In some cases, treatment includes wearing a hard plastic appliance at night. This is made to measure and fitted accurately to help relax the muscles and protect teeth from wear.
What does a bite appliance do?
The appliance positions your teeth so your jaw muscles can relax, reducing grinding and preventing teeth from becoming worn down.
What if my jaw problem is more severe?
Depending on the origin and severity, treatment may involve orthodontic care, replacing missing teeth or adjusting ill fitting bridgework. Referral may be considered if needed.
When should I seek help for jaw pain in EN6 or Hertfordshire?
If you experience daily discomfort, headaches or jaw pain, it’s important to see a dentist for assessment and guidance on appropriate treatment.
