Preventative treatment

No one likes having dental treatment so the more we can prevent problems occurring the happier our patients will be. We try to reduce the amount of dental treatment needed by spending more time on preventing further problems occurring.

• Taking time to talk to patients
• Arranging regular and detailed oral checkups
• Ensuring regular and thorough cleaning of teeth to reduce tooth decay and gum disease
• Dentists taking their time ensuring the highest quality of treatment is provided
• Using only top quality materials so that once placed the restorations last a long time
• Fissure sealants for children’s adult teeth to help prevent decay before it starts
• Healazone treatment to kill bacteria in teeth to stop decay spreading
• Velscope system to routinely screen patients for oral cancer
• Oral cancer awareness with smoking cessation advice
• Discussions with parents / patients re-dietary advice for children
• Taking time to explain why prevention of gum problems are so important and why oral hygiene instruction is needed for both children and adults
