Preventative Dentistry
Dental Hygiene
Our team of Hygienists and Dental Therapists are dedicated to keeping your mouth disease free. A thorough tooth and gum examination will determine your needs to prevent dental caries (decay) and gum disease. Your customised preventative treatment plan may include teeth cleaning, fluoride application alongside customised routine and product recommendations.
Carifree
CariFree is a dental decay prevention system safe for everyday use.
Tooth decay is caused by a bacterial imbalance in your mouth. While brushing and flossing can reduce bacteria, neither alters the acid or bacterial balance of your mouth. CariFree products change the chemical balance of your mouth and are scientifically proven to prevent tooth decay.
If you are experiencing high rates of dental decay we can take a quick reading to determine your bacterial count and recommend a suitable at home product especially for you.
