Preventative and Children’s Dentistry

Preventative Dentistry

Preventative Dentistry is all about minimising the effects of dental disease, mainly

tooth decay, (dental caries) and gum disease. We are also concerned with the

treatment of bad breath problems, tooth clenching and grinding.

It is about ensuring that a healthy mouth is maintained in that state. The dental team

and individual patient work together to achieve and maintain optimum dental health.

It also involves the use of Bite-Guards for contact sports and people who grind their

teeth in their sleep. Appropriate advice for each and every patient is readily available

from the dental team.

 

 

Children's Dentistry

Educating young people to look after their teeth and gums is one of our paramount

roles. They should not need the drill and fill repairs endured by their parents.

Dietary advice and oral hygiene instructions are freely given by our hygienist on a

one to one basis with (or without) parents present. We strongly recommend fissure

sealing of most posterior teeth where necessary and orthodontic treatment is

probably required for the majority of young teenagers. Age

however, is not a barrier to having your teeth straightened.
