Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry is the recommended approach for all patients. It is ideal for maintaining oral health in those patients with their own teeth, but people with false teeth can also benefit greatly. Regular visits can enable us to identify conditions such as mouth cancer and denture stomatitis at an early stage, and therefore allow us to provide fast and effective treatment.

You may find traditional dental hygiene ‘scale and polish’ treatment uncomfortable, as plaque is scraped from the surface of your teeth. However, this does not last long. For a completely pain-free option, we are pleased to offer Airflow treatment. This is very safe, effective, and does not hurt at all.

Most people should visit the hygienist every six months, in line with your regular dental check up appointments. However, you may be advised to attend more or less regularly, depending on the condition of your teeth. You may also choose to have an Airflow treatment for a deep clean before a special occasion.
