Preventative care
Oral Hygiene
Good health and dental hygiene is fundamental to achieving well-being and optimal health. With good dental health also comes a healthy body. Studies show that inadequate oral health may lead to serious health conditions such as cardiovascular and respiratory disease and increased risk of stroke.
Inadequate oral hygiene can cause gum disease, or Gingivitis, which can cause Periodontitis if untreated.
Periodontitis is characterised by inflammation of the gums and bone loss, and can also lead to teeth loss if untreated.
We have an Oral Hygienist who will do scalings, root planings and fluoride treatments.
Where necessary fissure sealants can be done to prevent decay.
