GENERAL & PREVENTATIVE DENTISTRY

There are many reasons for seeing a Dentist regularly. The early stages of most dental problems are symptom free and if picked up by a routine check-up can be treated simply and painlessly.

Common treatments offered in our dental surgery include:

• fillings
• tooth extractions
• scale and polish/ teeth cleaning
• treatment for gingivitis and halitosis
• fluoride therapy
• oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Inadequate oral hygiene can be detrimental to your general well-being and can add to your risk of Stroke, Heart Disease, Respiratory Disease and Cardiovascular Disease. Therefore regular dental check-ups can be good for your overall health and well-being.

Tooth decay, discolourations, staining and most gum diseases can be avoided with regular check-ups. In most cases, regular check-ups are combined with special cleaning, tartar removal (mineralised plaque), fluoride re-mineralising treatments and preventive dental advice. If teeth are not cleaned regularly plaque build-up can lead to periodontal problems such as gingivitis.

When looking at your oral hygiene think about your entire lifetime. Your dentist will help you to maintain an optimum level of cleanliness for your teeth. If you feel that your dentist could help you in your daily routine and help to maintain your teeth, do not hesitate to contact them today for a better quality of life that you most certainly deserve.

Remember, prevention is better than a cure.
