Health & prevention

A plaque-free mouth is likely to stay strong and healthy for life and our hygiene treatments will positively contribute to this outcome. You will receive tailored advice for improving your oral hygiene routine between visits and younger patients are taught how to establish good oral hygiene habits to avoid dental problems in the future.

Healthy mouths are wonderful: they are problem free, pain free and decay free. They are also a good indication of a healthy body and great general wellbeing.

Our practice continually invests in the most modern technology to ensure our patients get the best service possible. Our inter-oral cameras and digital x-rays help us to show patients the areas underneath, between and inside their teeth. They are an excellent education tool for both patients and clinicians and allow us to explain what the different treatments achieve and why we need to carry them out.

New patients who require hygiene therapy are given the opportunity to attend a one-hour consultation with one of our excellent hygienists, during which she will spend time discussing the concept of prevention and the role of the patient in the maintenance of good oral health. The appointment allows time for active initial treatment, as appropriate, and the patient leaves with a beautifully clean mouth, plenty of advice on the best hygiene routine to continue at home, as well as a customised oral health kit and a tailored maintenance programme.

We are also experts in bite therapy, the treatment of headaches, excessive tooth wear, which is linked to stress and excessive tooth-to-tooth contact in clenching or grinding, and anti-snoring devices.
