Dental Hygiene
Prevent dental problems and gum disease with better oral hygiene. We can quickly and painlessly:
- scale and polish teeth to remove plaque and deposits to treat and prevent gum disease
- apply fluoride to strengthen teeth
- place fissure sealants into deep grooves on the teeth to prevent decay and fillings
- polish fillings
- whiten teeth
Our hygienist will also tailor a homecare regime especially to suit your needs.
Sedation
For anxious patients or long procedures, we can provide gentle sedation. We have "Penthrox(TM)" gas which is very safe and effective and wears off at the end of the appointment.
