Advice and Guidance - part 1

It has long been recognised that if a good standard of cleaning is not maintained this can lead to the accumulation of dental plaque and calculus (calcified plaque), which in turn will lead to the development of dental decay, gum disease and other deleterious effects.

If you have a problem the dentists or our hygienist Sally can provide advice on how to develop cleaning techniques that will minimise these problems, and the best products to suit your particular needs.

Dental decay is a risk at any age. It is important that, whatever your age, you should have regular examinations by your dentist to prevent these problems and to have them treated; note that the problem can develop rapidly, for instance in the time between regular examinations.
