Ear wax, scientifically known as cerumen, is a natural substance produced by glands in the outer ear canal. Its purpose is to lubricate and protect the delicate skin of the ear canal, preventing dust, debris, and microorganisms from entering the ear. However, sometimes ear wax can accumulate and harden, leading to symptoms such as earache, itching, a feeling of fullness in the ear, and temporary hearing loss.
At The Dental Care Clinic Newcastle, we offer main methods of ear wax removal:
Microsuction is considered the safest and most comfortable method of ear wax removal available. During this procedure, a small, gentle suction device is used to remove excess wax from the ear canal. Unlike ear syringing, which can be uncomfortable and messy, microsuction offers instant relief without any fuss or mess. Our skilled professionals perform microsuctions with precision and care to ensure your comfort and satisfaction.
While ear syringing was once a common method of ear wax removal, it is now discouraged by healthcare guidelines due to the risk of complications such as perforated eardrums and ear infections. Instead, we offer irrigation as an alternative method, which involves gently flushing the ear canal with warm water to soften and remove the wax. Our experienced team follows strict protocols to ensure the safety and effectiveness of this procedure.
Expertise: Our team of professionals is highly skilled and experienced in performing ear wax removal procedures, ensuring safe and effective results.
Specialised Equipment: We use advanced equipment and techniques to provide gentle and thorough ear cleaning tailored to your individual needs.
Patient Comfort: Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. We strive to make the ear wax removal process as comfortable and stress-free as possible for our patients.
Less Discomfort: Ear wax removal can sometimes cause discomfort, especially if the wax is impacted or if there’s an underlying ear condition. Our professionals are likely skilled at minimizing discomfort during the procedure and may use techniques such as warm water irrigation or gentle suction to ease the process.
Convenient Location: Located on Stamfordham Rd, Westerhope, Newcastle upon Tyne, our clinic is easily accessible for residents of Newcastle and surrounding areas.
