Total Preventative Care

Adam Alford Dentistry can support positive dental outcomes through education about simple and effective preventative treatments. We individually tailor preventative treatment for our patients. Tailoring can be re-assessed as our patient’s circumstances change over time.

Long-term positive dental outcomes can be achieved with:

• Six-monthly check-ups
• Regular visits to the dental hygienist, including fluoride application, oral hygiene instruction and dietary advice to help maintain a healthy mouth
• Annual x-rays, taken to check in between teeth and around existing restorations, where it can be difficult to diagnose visually
• X-rays, taken to check any pre-existing treatment to the nerves of the teeth, and possibly to gain a better understanding of the facial structures; and
• An explanation of dental treatment and options available, with an approximate longevity indication, so patient’s can make an informed decision.
