Our Preventive Care Service
Preventive care is provided by both our Dentists and Hygienist who can help you to maintain a bright and healthy smile. A visit to our hygienist provides a regular oral health check plus removal of scale and advice on oral hygiene. This can also include a polish which can usually successfully remove staining, which although not harmful to our teeth, will gradually increase over time and can occur from tobacco or drinking tea, coffee, and red wine. Hygienist visits are also essential following some complex dental treatments or a smile makeover, to maintain your long-term oral health.
Services We Offer
The dentists can also offer a more extensive scale if required which can include deep cleaning ,this is sometimes carried out with the use of local anaesthetic if necessary.
Often this can then set you on the right path to maintain your own dental health along with regular visits to the hygienist.
A cosmetic clean is also available with some of the dentists which along with calculus removal, focuses on staining and includes the use of the airflow technique for effective stain removal.
THE RISKS
Without regular visits to the hygienist, patients can be at risk from gum disease also known as gingivitis, which can be potentially harmful to our teeth and their surrounding structures.
This makes it important for the hygienist or dentist to remove tartar (calculus) from your teeth which cannot be removed at home by normal tooth brushing. If the tartar is not removed it can lead to red, swollen and bleeding gums which may in time cause periodontal disease which when left untreated, damages the structures and bone supporting the teeth, causing infection, loosening of teeth, and eventually premature tooth loss.
This can also lead to consequences with a person’s general health and well-being.
