Why keep fixing problems if it is possible to prevent problems in the first place? Our goal is to make sure that you have healthy teeth for life. Imagine, no problems!
At Vega Dental Clinic we work in partnership with you to help you acquire the habits that will turn around the health of your mouth and help to maximise the benefits of treatment.
Don't get us wrong we still want to see you regularly but ideally, there will be very little to do other than preventative work and routine cleaning.
Below are the treatments we provide.
We focus on our oral hygiene by doing oral prophylaxis or teeth cleaning. This involves removing the hard calculus deposits above and below the gum line to prevent bacterial colonies in developing caries and gum disease that can cause looseness of teeth. Prophylaxis is recommended twice a year for the average healthy individual and as often as 6 – 8 weeks for mentally and physically impair patients.
Dental sealants are painless and safe thin coatings that are placed on to chewing surfaces of the back teeth and help to seal out germs and food that can cause tooth decay. Sealants are 100% effective in reducing tooth decay and will last for 15 years or longer.
Dental fluoride treatment strengthens the teeth once they have erupted by seeping into the outer surface of the tooth enamel making the teeth more resistant to decay. We recommend that children have an application of fluoride twice a year.
