Protect Your Smile for Life

We believe prevention is the key to lifelong oral health. Our preventive treatments help you and your family avoid dental problems before they start – keeping your teeth and gums strong, fresh and disease‑free.

Children’s Teeth & Early Visits

Childhood is the foundation of lifelong dental health. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and other professional bodies recommend a first dental visit by the age of one . Early dental visits allow us to prevent and identify disease, applying conservative treatments such as fluoride varnishes to arrest early cavities . Dental caries is the most common chronic disease of childhood; catching it early prevents pain, infection and the need for more extensive treatment.

Detect problems early: children’s enamel is thinner and decay can progress quickly; regular check‑ups allow us to spot cavities and developmental issues before they become serious.
Prevent decay: fluoride treatments and dental sealants strengthen young teeth and protect against cavities.
Teach healthy habits: we guide parents and children on brushing, flossing and diet, and help break bad habits like thumb‑sucking or teeth grinding.
Monitor growth: routine visits let us track how baby teeth are replaced, assess bite alignment and intervene early if crowding or other orthodontic problems arise.
Positive experience: early preventive care builds confidence and reduces anxiety about dental visits.

MYOBRACE

Many crooked teeth and poor jaw development are caused by myofunctional habits, not heredity. Myobrace addresses the underlying causes, correcting breathing, tongue posture and swallowing to encourage natural growth.

Treat the cause, not just the symptoms: improve tongue posture, breathing and swallowing; avoid or reduce the need for braces.
Comfortable and removable: worn for one hour per day and overnight; no permanent appliances or brackets.
Early intervention: designed for children aged 5–15 to guide jaw development during growth spurts.
Proven worldwide: used by dentists in over 100 countries and has helped millions of children.

Buteyko

The Buteyko Breathing Technique helps children develop healthier breathing habits by encouraging nasal breathing, reducing over-breathing and improving airway function.

Better breathing: promotes calm, efficient nasal breathing to support healthier facial and jaw development.
Supports orthodontics: often used alongside Myobrace and preventive orthodontic treatments to improve long-term outcomes.
Improves symptoms: may help reduce mouth breathing, snoring, sleep issues and daytime fatigue.
Gentle, guided approach: we teach simple, effective exercises tailored to your child’s needs to build strong, sustainable habits.

Halitosis (Bad Breath)

Halitosis is an oral‑health condition where the main symptom is persistent bad breath. Causes range from dietary factors and poor oral hygiene to gum disease, dry mouth or other health conditions. Our dentists find the cause and tailor treatment.

Identify the cause: we diagnose whether bad breath is due to bacteria on the tongue, gum disease, dry mouth, medical conditions or lifestyle factors.
Professional cleaning: remove plaque and tartar that harbour odour‑causing bacteria .
Home care guidance: brush and floss at least twice daily, clean your tongue, and maintain dentures.
Lifestyle advice: drink plenty of water, chew sugar‑free gum to stimulate saliva and quit smoking.
Medical referrals: if bad breath is linked to a medical condition, we coordinate care with your GP.

Airpolish Dental Cleaning

Airpolish (also called AirFlow) is a modern alternative to traditional scale and polish. It uses a gentle stream of air, water and fine powder to clean and polish your teeth.

When extractions are neeGentle and thorough: removes plaque, tartar and stains without scraping; ideal for sensitive teeth or gums.ded: severe decay, gum disease, failed root canals, fractures, infection, orthodontic crowding or impacted wisdom teeth.
Quick and comfortable: faster than traditional scaling and widely preferred by patients.
Effective stain removal: particularly efficient at removing stains caused by coffee, tea or smoking.
Suitable preventive care: part of a comprehensive hygiene plan to prevent gum disease and maintain oral health.

Sensitive Teeth Care

Tooth sensitivity can range from a mild twinge to severe discomfort . It often signals enamel loss or gum recession that exposes the dentine.

Identify the cause: our dentists determine whether sensitivity is due to enamel wear from brushing too hard, dental erosion from acidic foods, gum disease, gum recession, tooth grinding, cracked teeth or bleaching.
Avoid triggers: avoid very hot, cold, sweet or acidic foods; switch to warm water if cold water causes pain.
Continue brushing: maintain regular brushing with a soft-bristled brush to prevent decay.
Desensitising treatments: we may apply specialised fluoride gels, rinses or varnishes to build up protection.
Further care: if necessary, we can seal or fill exposed areas; severe cases may require root canal treatment.

Mouth Cancer Screening

During every routine exam we perform a mouth cancer screening. It’s a painless examination of the mouth, throat and neck for signs of cancer or precancerous conditions.

Early detection: the goal is to identify mouth cancer early, when the chances of a cure are higher.
Comprehensive exam: we inspect your mouth for red or white patches or sores and feel for lumps in your mouth, throat and neck.
Risk assessment: we consider risk factors such as tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, previous oral cancer and sun exposure.
Advanced tests: if necessary, we use dyes or lights to highlight abnormal tissue and arrange biopsies or refer you to specialists.

DENTAL HYGIENE

Preventive dentistry isn’t just about brushing at home – professional cleaning is vital. Dental hygienists focus on preventive dental health and treating gum disease . They remove plaque and tartar through a ‘scale and polish’, which encourages tooth decay and gum disease if left unchecked.

Professional plaque & tartar removal: scale and polish eliminates hard deposits that brushing can’t reach.
Gum disease prevention: hygienists treat early gum disease and show you how to keep your gums healthy.
Early detection: regular hygienist appointments help catch problems like decay and gum disease before they become serious.
Tailored advice: build a long‑term relationship with your hygienist for personalised oral‑health coaching.

Frequently asked questions

When should my child first visit the dentist?

Children should see a dentist as soon as their first teeth appear, or by their first birthday. Early visits help protect developing teeth and build confidence for future appointments.

What is Myobrace and who is it for?

Myobrace is a preventive orthodontic system that helps correct poor oral habits (like mouth breathing or incorrect tongue posture) and supports healthy jaw development in children before braces are needed.

How often do I need a hygiene appointment?

Most patients benefit from a professional clean every 6 months. Some with gum disease or higher risk factors may need hygiene visits more frequently.

What causes bad breath and can a dentist help?

Bad breath (halitosis) is often caused by bacteria on the tongue or around the gums. A dentist or hygienist can diagnose the cause and provide treatment, advice and cleaning to resolve it.

Is Airpolish different from a normal clean?

Yes. Airpolish uses a fine jet of water, air and powder to gently remove stains and plaque. It’s ideal for patients with sensitivity, braces, implants or heavy staining.

Why do my teeth feel sensitive?

Sensitivity can be caused by exposed dentine, gum recession, enamel wear or certain medical conditions. Your dentist can diagnose the cause and provide tailored treatment, from fluoride protection to desensitising agents.
