Preventative Dentistry
Prevention is better than a cure.
Its More than Brushing and Flossing
There is more to it than brushing if you really want to ensure you keep your teeth for your whole life. Certainly the basics are to keep teeth clean and avoid the things that cause tooth decay, and we run private lessons for people to help improve your technique at tooth cleaning.
For Better Overall Health
Prevention in dentistry is about your overall health as much as it is about your teeth. In dentistry people often think that this is simply about avoiding sugar and brushing your teeth.
Minimise your Health Risks
There are also ways of preventing further breakdown of your teeth, and also, a healthy mouth has now been proven to reduce your risk of medical problems as you go through your life – things such as stroke, heart disease and diabetes are being caused by an unhealthy mouth. We can help you to minimise your risk of problems.
