Preventive
Dental Care
The
two main causes of Tooth loss; Dental Decay, and
gum disease, are both preventable. We assume that
our patients would like to keep their teeth as
long as they need them! Therefore, we take a strongly
preventive approach at our practice. We recall
all our patients at regular intervals for thorough
examinations, so we can intervene if necessary
at the first sign of a provlem, and hence keep
any intervention to a minimum.
We
have a hygienist here who carries out most of
our preventive work, this includes:
- Careful
monitoring of oral hygiene (brushing and flossing).
- Advice
on oral health products and their specific us
for each patient.
- Thorough
professional cleaning and polishing of teeth
and root surfaces.
