Prevention is the best approach to avoiding tooth loss or the need for fillings and since three out of four teeth are lost through gum disease, it's clear why we put such emphasis on the early identification and cure of any gum disorder. Bacterial plaque contributes to decay, gum disease and bad breath, which is why our hygienists focus on removing the hard plaque that can build up between visits keeping you and your mouth healthy, looking good and smelling fresh.

While your teeth are the stars of the show, their success is entirely reliant on a supporting cast of gums. You really do have quite a bit to lose if you don’t look after your gums and that’s why we passionately advocate a preventive approach. Screening for gum disease forms an integral part of your examination and a primary focus of our hygienists, Lara and Anna.
