Assessment at our Fresh Breath Clinic involves seeing
one of our dentists initially who will review your medical
history, check for caries (dental decay), defective
margins or overhangs on fillings and take radiographs,
if necessary.
You will then be seen by our hygienist, Karen Hails,
who will use our newest piece of equipment, the Halimeter,
to check for Volatile Sulphur Compounds. Karen will
also do plaque scores and bleeding charts and pocket
charts, if required, and provide intense oral hygiene
instruction. You will be given one of our Fresh Breath
Kits to help you along the way.
A review appointment with Karen will be organised a
minimum of two weeks later and another Halimeter reading
will be taken to assess any improvement which has been
made.
Should you require any further dental treatment,
you will be advised of this at your initial visit
and you can opt either to have this done at your own
practice or pay the appropriate fee for Karen to carry
out the treatment at our practice.
Prior to your assessment at the Fresh Breath Clinic,
please take note of the following:
