Oral Hygiene and Preventive Dentistry

Oral hygiene and preventive dentistry are often seen as mundane, routine rituals that people go through on a regular basis. However, they are absolutely fundamental to successfully maintaining good oral health and also ensuring the long term success of any other type of dental treatment a person receives. More


Oral Hygiene maintenance - Scaling and dental prophylaxis

Scaling and prophylaxis to remove tartar and stains are routine but essential procedures to keep the teeth and gums in optimal health. A thorough dental examination helps detect any problems as early as possible, and keeps you informed about your oral condition and steps you can take to maintain optimal oral health.

More complex treatment 

Patients with gum problems may require treatment to properly resolve the issue. In a majority of cases, deep scaling and root planing is sufficient, but in some cases, gum surgery may be required. 

Fluoride Therapy

In office Therapy

Patients who have had some weakening of the enamel either by erosion, tooth decay which has not yet become a cavity or a hole in the tooth can benefit from this treatment, which seeks to re-harden the enamel by applying very high doses of fluoride directly to the affected area.

Intensive Take Home Therapy

This is usually reserved for patients who, because of defects in the enamel, saliva or other factors, are at high risk of tooth decay and breakdown of the teeth by bacteria. The fluoride hardens the enamel and other components of the gel reduce the level of acidity on the surface of the teeth.

Patients who suffer chronic sensitivity of the teeth can also benefit from this treatment, which involves making a close fitting transparent tray to hold the treatment gel against the teeth and minimize wastage.

Tray fabrication: $150 per unit
