Preventative Dentistry
Preventative dentistry is a joint effort in which we encourage the patients to participate actively. We educate our patient at every appointment and give general and customised advice suitable for the particular patient at the time. We also recommend regular visits to one of our hygienists to remove plaque and calculus and to review your brushing and flossing technique.
We recommend brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes and flossing daily and also discuss how your diet and other health issues can impact your oral health.
Regular dental visits are encouraged to keep your teeth and mouth healthy, and help to keep tooth decay and gum disease away.
