Preventive Dentistry
Preventive dentistry is the approach that undertake to better improve your oral health. This approach will allow us to aim to prevent the damaging effects of tooth decay, gum disease and other oral health diseases.
Preventive Dental Care as a concept is the way in which the dentists in conjunction with the hygienists will undertake a comprehensive examination of your oral health. Firstly a detailed dental examination can reveal the early stages of tooth decay, gum disease and other oral health diseases which can be resolved effectively. This is complimented by routine hygienist’s visits to maintain good oral hygiene. Secondly, we aim to develop the patients own home based oral hygiene regime.
We encourage all our patients to have routine dental and hygienist examinations. Preventive dentistry and good oral health is a partnership between us you the patient.
Remember - "A smile is for life"
so protect it !
