This means that we can identify the smallest signs of decay quickly, using high magnification and intensive lighting, that is routinely in use during general check ups. We can accurately and quickly diagnose an issue that you have, through the use of digital scans, that not only reduce the amount and impact of radiation on your body, but they also provide clearer, sharper and more detailed images than ever before.
At your dentist in Harley Street, we firmly believe that preventive care is the way forward in all modern dental clinics. By putting a lot of focus, attention, research and money into this area, we can ensure that your smile can remain strong and healthy for your lifetime.
A goal that all of us should have is keeping our natural teeth right into our older years, as they are capable of providing every one of us with the ability to eat and chew comfortably. Technology, until recent years, hasn’t been developed enough for us to be able to apply appropriate preventive care until now, meaning that there are many of us who require some dental intervention. This is an exciting prospect for our future, and for the smiles of our children and grandchildren, because undoubtedly, this technology and equipment will only develop further, meaning that our natural smiles can be maintained for a lifetime with proper care.
Why is it so important for children to visit us?
Only by starting preventive care early, and establishing good oral hygiene techniques, can we aim to ensure that teeth are strong and healthy for life. By bringing your child in to see us at an early age, we are able to establish a positive relationship, which can greatly reduce the chances that dental fear or anxiety will develop in your child.
The younger that we begin a good oral hygiene routine and can guide parents in how to correctly help their children to brush their teeth, the more likely these habits are to stay and become a part of the everyday lives of children.
Even though milk teeth fall out, significant damage can be done to the growing adult teeth and to a child’s gums if these baby teeth are left to rot and decay. If milk teeth fall out prematurely, adult teeth can grow through crooked and diseased, causing many complications later on in their lives.
What can we do for you?
Preventive care is for the whole family. We have several preventive treatments that both children and adults can enjoy in order to protect their teeth from unnecessary damage or exposure.
One of the main treatments is a simple scale and polish that should be performed at least twice a year to remove residual plaque and food debris. Other treatments, such as a fissure sealant, can protect those deep grooves in biting teeth from accumulating filth, which is one of the leading causes of decay.
