Keeping your teeth healthy and alive…

General and Restorative Dentistry seeks to repair oral conditions and prevent you from losing your teeth. Within our practice we utilise General and Restorative Dentistry techniques to regain your sense of overall well-being and prevent further deterioration of your teeth.

Research indicates inadequate oral health can influence the severity of other conditions within the body. Sufferers of poor oral health have a greater risk of developing Heart Disease, Respiratory Disease, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke. Therefore, it may be said that overall well-being begins in the mouth with our teeth!

General and Restorative Dentistry is essential for patients suffering oral conditions, as it enables these problems to be resolved and for patients to regain their overall well-being. Routine dental check-ups combined with day to day oral hygiene techniques will help prevent the need for fillings and keep your teeth healthy and vibrant. We recommend visiting us every six months for a thorough examination and clean. Other steps which can be taken to increase the health of your teeth and gums include;

• Use a soft toothbrush with rounded bristles
• Replace your toothbrush every three to four months
• Brush twice daily
• Use toothpaste with fluoride
• Floss once daily
• Avoid tobacco products
• Avoid excessive alcohol use
