Dental hygiene is a very important part of keeping a healthy smile.

We recommend regular hygiene appointments to remove the harmful bacteria from your gums around the neck of the teeth, as well as cleaning and polishing your teeth. This can be carried out by our hygienist or one of the dentists.

Sometimes it is necessary to provide more intensive cleaning where there is periodontal disease present. We can detect this at an early stage with regular visits and plan a series of treatments to slow down the process and prevent early tooth loss. In many cases we can successfully stop further deterioration to the gum tissues, enabling you to hold onto your teeth longer.

Treatment

Periodontal treatment will depend on the type and severity of the disease. We will evaluate for periodontal disease and recommend the appropriate treatment.
