Preventive care is the philosophy of preventing dental disease before it even starts with regular cleaning, fluoride (or fluoride alternative) and check ups. We at Duncraig Dental Care strongly encourage regular 6 monthly preventive care visits. During pregnancy or sometimes for specific problems such as periodontal disease we may recommend more frequent 3 monthly visits. This involves having your teeth cleaned by our dental therapist and having your mouth (both soft and hard tissues) thoroughly examined by the dentist. Once the teeth are clean the dental therapist will toughen the tooth enamel by applying a fluoride gel treatment which is also good if any teeth are sensitive. For those not keen on having fluoride we have Tooth Mousse (a non fluoride alternative) which does a similar job.
