Examination A stitch in time saves nine.
We recommend that you attend regular routine dental examinations with your dentist to ensure that problems with your oral health can be spotted and dealt with early, thus minimising the need for any invasive or costly treatment.
Your examination is in fact an oral health check where we examine your oral tissues and the head and neck area for any signs of cancer.
We also examine your teeth and gums for signs of gum disease or tooth decay.
X-rays may also be taken of the teeth to check for decay in the hidden parts of the teeth and to assess the health of the bone around the teeth.

Dental Hygiene The dental hygiene visit is to helps to prevent any dental problems.
During the visit the teeth are scaled and polished and the patient is shown the best way to keep the teeth plaque free at home.
Scaling and polishing of teeth removes harmful plaque and calculus (tartar) and stain from the teeth.
Deeper scaling (debridement) which includes cleaning the roots of teeth may be required for some patients.
Each patient's mouth is unique and therefore your dentist will tailor a treatment plan to your needs.

Gum Disease Gum disease is either Gingivitis or Periodontitis.
Gingivitis is inflammation of the gum around the tooth but does not involve any loss of the bone or periodontal ligament.
It can usually be resolved by improving oral hygiene.
This can be done by being more thorough when doing tooth brushing and by brushing more often (Brushing gently though!).
Flossing between the teeth is also helpful.
A simple scaling of the teeth carried out by a dentist or hygienist will also help.

Tooth Whitening Tooth Whitening Treatments have been a great addition to the way that we can improve the appearance of people's teeth.
It is a simple, non invasive way of brightening the colour of teeth and can be effective for all ages.
Prior to treatment the dentist examines the patient to make sure that they are suitable to have tooth whitening.
Any cavities would have to be treated and any teeth that might not respond to the whitening treatment identified.
Treatment involves taking an impression of the teeth and then constructing custom made whitening trays.
