Preventative Dentistry

We are passionate about maintaining and promoting the long-term oral health and wellbeing of our patients. That’s why preventative dentistry is at the heart of everything we do here at Brixton Smiles.

What is preventative dentistry?

Preventative dentistry concerns the work we do to keep your teeth and overall oral health in their best possible condition. We recommend that our patients visit us here at the practice for an annual check-up, while also seeing the dental hygienist at least once a year.

This is to help prevent tooth decay, cavities, gum disease and the wearing away of the enamel. At these appointments we will also make recommendations of how best to care for your oral health at home, and can help develop a treatment plan that works for you.

How can I take care of my teeth at home?

The best oral health care starts at home with twice daily brushing for two minutes. We also recommend flossing regularly and/or using an interdental brush.

If you have any dental care needs you are particularly concerned about, then you can contact us here at the practice, and we can make special recommendations specific to you.
