preventive dentistry

Preventive dentistry is the practice of preventing or minimising the occurrence of dental caries (tooth decay), gingivitis or periodontitis (gum disease), or any other preventable condition of the mouth or jaws.

We practice preventive dentistry by carrying out regular dental check-ups, regular oral hygiene appointments, and diet, oral hygiene and smoking cessation counselling. We do not hesitate to refer our patients to dental or medical specialists at an early stage of any condition should a professional opinion or advice be needed.

We show you how to clean your mouth effectively to maintain the health of your gums and teeth and we teach you what to eat to have a healthy lifestyle.
