Prevention is better than cure
On-going care to keep your teeth at their best.

Preventing your teeth from getting into problems in the first place, and keeping them healthy after you've sorted out any problems, takes active good behaviour on your part. However, we can do a lot to get you on the right path.

Our hygienists are superb knowledgeable, friendly, caring and their manner makes you want to do your part, to keep up with the cleaning and maintenance programmes. They are extremely gentle and at the end of your appointment your teeth will be sparkling, clean and healthy. They are also brilliant motivators perhaps not surprisingly, one of them has a degree in Psychology.

We are strongly committed to helping you keep your teeth for life and to preventing serious gum problems. We work closely in partnership with you so that you can look after your teeth for the long-term.

Hygiene Programmes

There are times when patients do have problems with their gums that may require one of our periodontitis or gingivitis programmes. These are designed so that the hygienist has the time to clean your teeth very well and to discuss brushing and flossing techniques. She may recommend various brushes or mouth washes. By working with you, the hygienist and dentist can really make a difference to those who are susceptible to gum problems.

Cleaning your teeth and gums

Cleaning your teeth effectively is the best way to avoid bad breath or halitosis. There are several programmes that we have developed to help you keep your mouth fresh. A special microscope shows you the bugs that cause bad breath and our hygienists can help you eradicate the problem. The result is added confidence, whether at work or in your social life.

Diet

What we eat and most importantly when we eat it affects what is going on in our mouths. The hygienist will take the time to discuss this with you and may ask you to fill in a diet sheet so that she can advise you what would help you. We have a variety of tests to identify if you are susceptible to decay and that helps us pinpoint the right way to reduce the risk.
Start Right

Decay and gum disease start when you're young and can plague you for the rest of life. However, if you show children how to keep their mouths fresh and healthy, they can expect to have their teeth for life. With the right information and help children can avoid having any fillings.

Once children reach a certain point in their development your dentist will recommend regular hygiene appointments. This is a valuable investment in your children's health.
The hygienist will show your children how to brush and floss their teeth, and will explain what effect diet has on their teeth. Their progress is monitored from appointment to appointment.

Fluoride and Fissure Sealants

Children can now avoid having fillings. These treatments can both strengthen and protect your children's teeth so that it is harder for decay to attack the teeth. The dentist will discuss these with you as needed.

Fissure Sealants work by bonding a plastic coating to biting surfaces at the back of the mouth so that it is harder for decay to attack these teeth. The back teeth (molars) are those which are used for chewing and the fissure sealing can really help to keep them for life.

Whilst your dentist will discuss it with you, there is no doubt that fluoride treatmenthelps to strengthen teeth so that they are more resistant to tooth decay. This is a routine treatment which takes place every six months when your child sees the hygienist.
Orthodontist

The hygienist sees all children who are having orthodontic treatment. It is important whilst treatment is going on that the teeth are kept clean and gums are healthy. The hygienist can help make sure there is no decay whilst the braces are on.
