Our dental team will first check your teeth and gums, and talk to you about any Preventive treatment you need. The main aim is to help you get your mouth healthy. The dental team will thoroughly remove all plaque and tartar from your teeth. This is often called ‘scaling and polishing. The dental team will show you the best ways to brush, and how to clean in between your teeth using interdental brushes or floss, to remove the bacterial plaque which forms constantly on your teeth. When you eat or drink something sugary, the bacteria in the plaque turn the sugar into acid, which may cause tooth decay. Plaque can also cause gum inflammation (swelling and soreness) if it is not regularly and thoroughly removed. The hard tartar which builds up on the teeth and also starts as plaque. You will be told which oral care products are the best ones for you to use. The dental team will probably talk to you about your diet. Our team will also make sure that all your fillings are in good condition and that there are no rough edges to make cleaning difficult.

• First, Many oral disease conditions are indeed preventable with early treatment.
• For instance, dental sealants can prevent 80% of cavities in children.
• If you are particularly at risk of decay, our dental team recommends or prescribes a high-strength fluoride toothpaste. Children up to three years old should use toothpaste with a fluoride level of at least 1000ppm (parts per million). Three-year-olds to adults should use toothpaste that contains 1350ppm to 1500ppm of fluoride.
• We provide Oral Hygiene kits to children which can reduce the prevalence of dental diseases.
• We advocate correct brushing techniques to the children.
• Psychosocial factors, such as improved awareness, knowledge, and attitudes toward dental health care in both children and their parents, both healthy or special needs, are included in general health status improvements.
