Our Preventative Dentistry Services
- Initial Consultation: Our dentist needs to be aware of your general state of health, as this can often impact the condition of your teeth and gums.
- Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride is a natural mineral found in food and water that helps strengthen teeth and prevent tooth decay by making the tooth enamel more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria.
- Oral Hygiene: To keep your gums healthy, you need to remove the daily build-up of plaque from all tooth surfaces.
- Grinding Appliances: Teeth grinding is a surprisingly common occurrence, often happening during sleep. Our dentists can provide custom-fitted appliances to protect your teeth from grinding.
- Sports Mouthguards: Mouthguards made from ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) can protect your teeth during sports activities.
- Check & Cleans: Regular check-ups allow your dentist to monitor your oral health, detect any issues early, and provide preventative treatments.
- Children’s Dentistry: Establishing good oral hygiene habits from an early age can prevent tooth decay and gum disease in children.
- Fissure Sealing: A tooth-coloured liquid applied to the chewing surfaces of adult molar teeth can prevent cavities from forming in the fissures.
- Gum Health: Our dentists can help you maintain healthy gums and prevent or treat periodontal (gum) disease.
- Bad Breath Treatment: We can identify and treat the underlying causes of bad breath, often related to oral hygiene or dental issues.
- Snoring Appliances: Custom-fitted oral appliances can help keep the airway open and reduce snoring.
- Root Canal Treatment: This procedure occurs when the tooth’s innermost part (the pulp) becomes decayed or infected.
