Preventive Dentistry is all about helping patients to maintain a healthy mouth. Gum disease and tooth decay are the two main causes of tooth loss. With good education and advice we help our patients to maintain all areas of the mouth. Regular visits to the dental team for professional hygiene and examinations which include taking x-rays are important. We will also look for possible changes which could indicate mouth cancer. Discussion on smoking and alcohol use and also diet advice all help to prevent further problems.
