A fresh breath and white teeth are part of a healthy
smile and long life.
Take care of your oral health by visiting our hygienist
regularly. Allow 1:15mins for your first visit for most
adults.
Our dental hygienist offers:

including evaluation of pocketing, bleeding and bone loss.
Results are collated on computerized charts for comparison with
earlier results, allowing disease progression to be tracked.
- Therapeutic treatment including scaling, root planning,
antibiotic pocket therapy and reattachment procedures.
- Preventative maintenance for adults and children through our
continuing periodontal care programme.
- Fluoride treatments to remineralise teeth and aid in decay
resistance.
- A wide range of prevention aids, such as brushes, floss, gels,
mouthwashes.
- Regular reminders and ongoing support and encouragement.
- Decay risk assessment profiling.
Significant Health Implications
Research now shows a clear link between periodontal disease and
the following medical conditions. In many cases serious
consequences can arise in at risk patients with periodontal
disease. These include:
- cardiovascular disease risk, with increased risk of stroke and
heart attack.
- premature birth with low birth weight babies.
- uncontrolled diabetes in adult diabetics.
- increased risk of pneumonia, particularly in elderly
patients.
