We treat all adult patients above age 18 only on a Private basis in accordance with our very reasonable fees guide. All children up to age 18 are treated both privately and on the NHS.

Hygienists

As a practice dedicated to prevention, we have 2 highly qualified hygienists who are able to professionally clean your teeth and show you the best way to keep them plaque free.They will also give you advice on diet and prevention of decay. Hygienists work with the dentist in order to give you and your family comprehensive preventative dental care.
 
Regular scaling and polishing by one of our hygienists will help keep your teeth and gums healthy, your smile whiter and your breath fresher.
Scaling removes the hard tartar which cannot be removed by brushing, and stains from coffee, tea, cigarettes or red wine are removed by polishing.

It is gum disease and not tooth decay that is the major cause of tooth loss in adult patients. Bacteria thrive in the plaque and tartar on your teeth, producing harmful chemicals that irritate your gums and cause them to bleed, eventually causing teeth to become loose. Therefore, regular removal of bacteria, plaque and tartar professionally by the hygienist is essential to maintain healthy gums.

It is widely accepted by the medical profession that Gum Disease can affect our general heath adversely. It can even increase the risk of heart disease and strokes. So by visiting the hygienist on a regular basis you are also looking after your general heath and well being.
