It
is our practice philosophy to promote dental health at all times. Therefore
we recommend regular check-ups. These will also help to keep down the
cost of your treatment. We employ several dental hygienists who are trained
in all aspects of dental care. including scaling and polishing, and giving
advice on promoting dental health.
A selection of oral hygiene aids are available for purchase.
