PREVENTIVE CARE

Check-up and Clean

Prevention is the key to keeping teeth healthy while minimising chances of decay, disease and infections. Diagnosing dental problems at an early stage is essential as it means we can fix the problem before it worsens and ensures you keep a happy smile for life.

Having a check-up and professional clean every 6 months is quick, simple and will assist in preventing any nasty surprises like tooth decay or gum disease. A professional clean will remove plaque, calculus deposits, coffee/cigarette stains and the professional fluoride will help prevent decay and reduce sensitivity.

Periodontal Treatment

periodonta

Periodontal disease is inflammation of the gums and surrounding areas, which may affect the way teeth are supported in the jaw. It is the most common cause of tooth loss and if signs of gum disease are noticed, it is important to have your symptoms, gums and medical history assessed to detect this condition as early as possible. The type of treatment you receive will depend on the severity of gum disease.

Treatment Approaches

Gingivitis is a form of periodontal disease, in such cases we will clean your teeth using specialized ultrasonic scalers and conventional hand scalers as well as providing advice on how to brush and floss effectively. However, if left untreated this can progress to periodontitis, requiring more extensive cleaning to remove bacteria, plaque and hardened deposits from deeper pockets surrounding each tooth. Cleaning these deeper pockets and hardened deposits are not possible to do at home and require professional tooth scaling and root planing to do so effectively. This may be done at our surgery over several appointments. To ensure the procedure is pain-free, we can use local anaesthetic to numb your gums before scaling for your comfort.
