preventive dentistry

Preventive Dentistry is

the cornerstone of
high quality dental treatment.

The term prevention encompasses not only the prevention of certain dental diseases via cleaning and through oral hygiene instruction, but also to take a proactive approach to early caries detection.

This pro-active approach may involve the assessment of your diet, salivary testing and early diagnostic testing.

Essentially all you need to do to ensure that your oral health is kept at its best, is to follow an effective oral care routine and attend regular examination appointments.

CariFree(tm); detecting dental caries

The term dental caries is more commonly known as tooth decay and it's tooth decay which leads to the occurrence of cavities. The latest development in the fight against decay is the CariFree(tm) system, a simple, non-invasive screening and treatment programme.

Even though you brush and floss daily, limit sugary foods and drinks and regularly visit our team for check-ups, you might still be at risk of developing cavities. This is due to cavities being a consequence of a bacterial infection that is now known to be the result of a biofilm disease.
