Prevention is better than cure - “fresh breath, confidence, peace of mind”

Research has shown that when it comes to caring for your teeth and gums, preventive dentistry is the best way of avoiding major problems. Regular dental examinations are extremely important so if there are any potential problems, they can be treated early enough to nip them in the bud.

When decay does develop within the teeth, there are a number of treatments that could potentially be carried out to restore the tooth once the decay has been removed, but if the decay proves extensive, then the treatment options may involve root canal treatment or extraction. Following examination, we will inform you of any problems within the mouth and your treatment options to deal with them.

Our hygienist also plays a key role in helping you to maintain a healthy mouth by cleaning your teeth professionally and advising you on all aspects of oral healthcare. Seeing the hygienist regularly helps you to take the best possible care of your teeth and gums so that you can avoid problems, and the associated costs, caused by decay and gum disease. Gum disease usually goes unnoticed by sufferers until the later stages, but it is the biggest cause of tooth loss in adults.

As we appreciate each person is different, we tailor the frequency of dental and hygiene visits to your individual needs.
