Our dental hygienists work closely with dentists to prevent, detect, and treat gum disease. Since plaque can remain even after good brushing and flossing, regular professional cleaning is essential to protect against tooth decay and gum problems. Hygienists provide gum and dental assessments, plaque and tartar removal, personalized homecare advice, polishing treatments, pregnancy and children’s oral care tips, and teeth whitening for a brighter smile. Regular 6-monthly check-ups help maintain lifelong oral health.
Wisdom teeth often erupt in the late teens or early twenties. They may remain impacted or cause issues such as decay, infections, swelling, cysts, or damage to nearby teeth. Simple removals can be performed at the clinic, while complex cases may require referral to an oral surgeon.
Sports injuries are a leading cause of dental trauma. Store-bought mouthguards often fit poorly and only protect the front teeth. A custom-fitted mouthguard provides complete protection, a comfortable fit, and allows easy breathing and communication, helping safeguard your smile during sports and active lifestyles.
Large or root-filled teeth can develop hidden cracks, causing pain when biting or sensitivity to hot and cold. These cracks let bacteria reach the nerve, leading to inflammation. Early detection is key to saving the tooth, and treatment varies depending on the size and position of the crack.
Sometimes, infection may remain after root canal treatment, causing abscesses, swelling, or fistulas. An apicectomy may be done to remove the root tip and infected tissue, then seal the area. Success depends on root canal quality, tooth structure, and accessibility. Simple cases are treated under local anesthesia, while complex ones may need extraction followed by implants.
