Nothing is as good as a healthy, beautiful, natural tooth. More than half the adult population suffers gum disease, which, if left undetected and untreated leads to loss of teeth. We provide all our patients, adult and child with a lifetime programme of preventive care. Prevention is a joint effort between you, the dentist and our highly experienced hygiene team. Under the prescription of your dentist, our team of hygienists provide a structured programme of gum treatments (periodontal care) combined with regular monitoring (usually annually). Our patients attend at 3 monthly intervals (children usually twice a year). If intervention is needed, we have the expertise to provide all the latest techniques, including bone regeneration and microsurgical gum treatments. Without gum health, other dental treatments can fail and teeth can be lost. Fissure sealing Back teeth develop with grooves and folds known as fissures. Extending deeply, often these cracks breach the enamel and are very prone to decay. Sealing these with a plastic resin soon after the teeth appear prevents decay. Fissure sealing is a well proven treatment used for more than 40 years.
