PREVENTION AND ORAL HYGIENE
Research has established that certain oral conditions such as caries
and gum disease can be prevented with good oral hygiene and dental
care. Along with home care, professional scaling and cleaning is an
important part of the treatment and helps prevent gum disease
(gingivitis and periodontitis). We provide clear and detailed oral
hygiene instruction, showing patients how to brush, floss and use
interdental brushes.
Hormonal changes in the body during pregnancy make women more susceptible to gum inflammation especially during the second and third trimester. It is important that women have a check up and clean during the pregnancy. Young mothers also benefit from regular dental check ups.
