We care about our patients and believe that prevention is better than the cure, striving to keep your natural teeth for life. Together we can help you prevent the most common forms of tooth damage. Most tooth loss results from extensive tooth decay or gum disease. However your teeth and mouth can be significantly damaged in other ways too so you will always be offered bespoke relevant advice.

Preventative strategies fundamentally start with regular attendance at the practice, to both the dental examinations and the dental hygienist appointments for the correct advice and treatments. By attending dental appointments regularly we can ensure that you maintain a bright and healthy smile.

Excellent oral hygiene is the mainstay of disease prevention and control. Regular professional cleaning and an effective home care regime , with effective brushing, appropriate daily interdental cleaning, the correct toothpaste will reduce tooth decay and control gum disease. A bespoke regime will be discussed and demonstrated at your hygiene visits.

Diet education. What and when you eat can have a profound effect on the health of your mouth and teeth. Good general nutrition is essential for gum health. The dietary sugar intake including both the overall amount and its frequency plays a significant role in tooth decay. Awareness of dietary acid leading to dental erosion is a growing concern with our modern diets. More information is available by clicking this button
