Prevention of oral diseases is a crucial part of dentistry.  We offer a range of treatments that help prevent oral diseases such as “teeth cleaning” , a.k.a scaling, prophylaxis, oral hygiene instruction, dietary advice and fluoride application, to mention a few. 

Scaling, more commonly known as “teeth cleaning”; removes dental plaque and calculus (dental stones) to prevent gum disease.  Regular general check ups enable your dentist to identify oral diseases before they become more serious. Diet and tooth brushing habits are very important in combating oral diseases such as caries – a.k.a. cavities – and also gum disease.  A dietary analysis can help identify risk factors in your diet that could lead to oral diseases. Oral hygiene instruction includes teaching you the correct techniques on how to care for your teeth e.g. brushing and flossing.
