Preventative Dentistry

At Allport Dental Practice, we believe that prevention is key to maintaining good oral health. Our preventative dentistry services are designed to help our patients avoid dental problems before they occur, saving them time, money, and discomfort in the long run.

Our preventative dentistry services include regular check-ups, cleanings, and oral hygiene education. During your check-up, our dental team will examine your teeth and gums, looking for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues that may require treatment. We may also use diagnostic tools such as X-rays to get a closer look at your teeth and jaw.

Regular cleanings are an essential part of preventative dentistry. Even with good oral hygiene habits at home, it's easy for plaque and tartar to build up on the teeth and gums over time. Our dental hygienists use specialised tools to gently remove this buildup and polish your teeth, leaving your mouth feeling clean and refreshed. Additionally, we offer oral hygiene education to help our patients maintain good oral health habits at home, including brushing and flossing techniques, dietary advice, and tips for maintaining healthy gums.

Hygienist appointments

As well as providing a thorough scale and polish, our dental hygienist will show you how to take care of your teeth and the best methods of brushing and flossing to remove plaque. Our hygienists offer treatments such as air flow. All appointments with our dental hygienists are payable on a private basis.
