Our practice philosophy is to promote dental health at all times. We recommend regular dental CHECK-UPS to ensure you maintain the best possible standard of oral health. Even patients with very few or no natural teeth are advised to have regular screening to ensure their mouths are in a healthy condition.
Between dental visits we recommend taking care of both your teeth and gums. Plaque is always forming on your teeth, but you can get rid of it by brushing at least twice a day using a toothpaste containing fluoride and flossing at least once a day. Our dentists are able to advise you on technique
