Preventive dental care
Regular examinations, professional cleaning, and guidance to support healthy teeth and gums.
Clinical Context
What preventive dentistry can help with
Preventive dentistry is built around regular check-ups and maintenance rather than waiting for pain, swelling, gum bleeding, or tooth damage to become more complex.
Your visit is used to assess teeth, gums, soft tissues, oral hygiene habits, cleaning needs, and risk factors that may need monitoring or early care.

Treatment Options
Preventive dentistry treatment options
Care is selected after assessing your teeth, gums, cleaning needs, soft tissues, and long-term oral health risks.
Hygiene & Polish
Scaling and polishing
Scaling and polishing removes plaque and calculus deposits, smooths the tooth surfaces, and supports a cleaner oral environment.
Enamel Care
Fluoride treatment
Fluoride treatment may be discussed for suitable patients when the dentist wants to support enamel care and decay-risk management.
Groove Protection
Fissure sealants
Fissure sealants may be considered for selected tooth grooves that are harder to clean and may benefit from added protection after assessment.
Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screening
Oral cancer screening includes review of the soft tissues, tongue, cheeks, lips, gums, and any changes that may need monitoring or referral.
Periodontal Review
Gum health assessment
Gum assessment checks bleeding, plaque deposits, pocketing, recession, and other signs that may affect long-term tooth support.
Home-Care Advice
Oral hygiene guidance
Oral hygiene guidance helps refine brushing, interdental cleaning, and home-care habits around the areas that need most attention.
Routine Check-Up
Regular preventive check-ups
Preventive check-ups are planned at intervals suited to your oral health, gum condition, decay risk, and maintenance needs.

Daily Prevention & Review
Preventive Maintenance
Long-term preventive maintenance
Preventive care works best when regular reviews and daily home care support each other.
- Brush and clean between teeth as advised, with extra attention to areas highlighted during the dental examination.
- Attend preventive check-ups and scaling appointments at the interval recommended for your oral health condition.
- Book a review if gum bleeding, sensitivity, pain, swelling, ulcers, broken teeth, or other changes appear between routine visits.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions are answered during consultation, where check-up timing, scaling, fluoride, sealants, screening, and gum health can be discussed.
The right interval depends on your teeth, gum health, decay risk, oral hygiene, symptoms, and previous treatment. The dentist can recommend a suitable schedule after assessment.
Brushing is important, but plaque and calculus can still build up in areas that are hard to clean. Scaling and polishing helps remove deposits that home care cannot fully remove.
Suitability depends on tooth surfaces, decay risk, age, oral hygiene, diet factors, and the dentist's assessment. These options are discussed when they fit the preventive plan.
The dentist reviews the soft tissues of the mouth and checks for ulcers, colour changes, lumps, or other findings that may need monitoring or referral.
