Preventative Dentistry

Your teeth are something you want to last a lifetime.

We want you to keep your teeth forever!!

At Braintree Dental Studio we believe that achieving healthy teeth and gums is a fundamental foundation for that great smile you’ve always wanted.  The two major causes of tooth loss are: decay and periodontal (gum) disease. Through good dental hygiene (daily cleaning) we can prevent these conditions or deal with them in a quick and easy manner.  Our diet is also a fundamental part of keeping decay away.

We have a great dental hygiene team, who you may see in conjunction with a routine check-up. Our Dental Hygienists work with our Dentists to provide each one of our patients with a careful individual assessment of their risk factors for dental disease. They will explain and demonstrate the correct ways to keep your teeth and gums in excellent health.

Additional stain removal cleaning of your teeth can also be provided during your standard Dentist or Hygienist appointment or if you prefer, at another visit. This is the Airpolish treatment which with a spray of air and sodium bicarbonate and a water jet removes stains without pain. This is especially good for smokers who have not had their teeth cleaned for along time. Ask your Dentist or Dental Hygienist for more information on this treatment.

We also provide more intensive treatment for advanced gum conditions (e.g. Gum / Periodontal Disease). These procedures are normally carried out with a local anaesthetic by one of our specially trained Hygienists.
