Total preventive care involves the early diagnosis and treatment of dental issues that could potentially cause problems in the future.

Early diagnosis usually results in more conservative treatments, saving both time and money. Total preventive care involves education about simple and effective preventive treatments.

We tailor individual preventive treatment for our patients. Tailoring can be re-assessed as our patient’s circumstances change over time.  Our recommendations to maintain your oral health include:

• Six-monthly check-ups
• Regular fluoride application, oral hygiene instruction and dietary advice to help maintain a healthy mouth
• X-rays taken to check in between teeth and around existing restorations, where it can be difficult to diagnose visually
• X-rays, taken to check any pre-existing treatment to the nerves of the teeth, and possibly to gain a better understanding of the facial structures
• An explanation of dental treatment and options available, with an approximate longevity indication, so patients can make an informed decision
