Preventive Dentistry

With a little effort each day and regular visits to our Dentist, your oral health can be kept at its best. This gives you the opportunity to keep your natural teeth functioning for life.

Effective oral care begins at home and involves a two step daily routine of brushing and flossing. You should brush your teeth at least twice a day using a high quality toothbrush and toothpaste. Flossing should be completed at least once a day and must be done effectively but gently.

At Mends St Dental, we focus on keeping your teeth and gums healthy. Our preventive dentistry services include:

Tooth cleaning using gentle ultrasonic scalers to remove the buildup of plaque and calculus (sometimes called tartar) from the teeth and restoring soft tissue health.

A Comprehensive dental examination of teeth and soft tissues using visual, tactile and digital x-ray analysis.

Education programs or advice on your at home care and nutrition. During your check-up there may be evidence of gum disease, acid wear, decay, erosion and attrition (wear). Evidence of any of these may result in a dietary analysis, saliva testing and/or periodontal screening which will then lead to advice tailored for your at home routine and may include using appropriate cleaning aids, toothpastes and rinses.

Preventive dentistry also means healthy teeth and gums for your children. Our Dentist and staff will help you develop a combination of in surgery and at home preventive dental care to ensure your children establish life long habits for healthy teeth.
