Preventative Dentistry

Preventative dentistry gives you the treatment, tools and knowledge to keep your oral health in the best condition. It is a modern approach which can prevent the need for expensive and invasive dental treatments by instilling good oral hygiene habits. Preventative dentistry can also help you keep your natural teeth for longer and enjoy a healthy smile.

Most patients should visit the hygienist every six months to ensure their teeth and gums remain in great condition. Your hygienist will professionally clean and polish your teeth, removing any harmful plaque deposits. Some patients may be advised that a once yearly hygiene visit is enough, but this is based on each individual case. Please ask us if you have any questions.

The main benefits of preventative dentistry include healthy teeth and gums, a reduced risk of dental problems, and improved oral and overall health. Regular preventative appointments can also make your teeth look brighter and more youthful, and keep your breath fresh.
