Oral Hygiene
To ensure the longevity of your teeth and gums it is important to maintain an effective daily hygiene routine that will remove plaque and tartar at home. Also you should attend regular appointments with the dental hygienist, this will help remove the deposits that home cleaning alone may miss as plaque and tartar calcify if left for long periods of time.
Cleaning your teeth effectively and regular visits with a hygienist will reduce your risk of developing gum disease and tooth decay.
Our hygienists can tackle all those hard to reach areas of the mouth and make sure they are kept clean and plaque free.
Our experienced hygienists provide the following:
An examination of your teeth to look for plaque or tartar and any evidence of gum disease.
Scaling and polishing to remove deposits, using an ultrasonic scaler. We also offer air polishing, which aims a strong jet of air, water and sodium bicarbonate at your teeth to remove debris and staining, and to polish the surface.
Dental hygiene advice to ensure you look after your teeth properly between appointments and avoid the more serious problems related to poor oral health.
Poor gum health has been linked to a number of serious conditions, including heart disease and diabetes, so regular visits to the hygienist can help to improve your overall well-being.

Root canal treatment
A Root canal treatment is an alternative to save a tooth. If you have an infected or inflamed pulp inside your tooth, root canal therapy can help to eliminate the infection and ensure the tooth is kept well-protected in the future. An infection can occur if bacteria gets into the tooth via decay, a deep failing filling or damage to the enamel.
This treatment, which is carefully performed using specialists instruments can help save a tooth that may otherwise be unable to be saved and will need extracting.
More facts about root canal therapy
Root canal therapy is often thought of as being a painful process but, in reality it is usually no more uncomfortable than having a normal filling.
Following treatment, the tooth can continue to function even though the ‘living’ pulp has been removed. The tooth itself is still supported by the surrounding tissue and kept sealed against further infection or damage.
