If left untreated this could form into a more serious condition called Periodontitis resulting in the loss of a tooth.

During your visit, our dental hygienist will remove the plaque and any light tooth stains before polishing your teeth to feel like new. You will also be shown how to keep your teeth and gums healthy as well as advising you on dietary advise if this is affecting your oral health.

"As I have not been to a dentist in many years I was a bit apprehensive but the people at this dental practice were very understanding, compassionate and caring. I was able to put my concerns to them and received the best advice and dental care I have ever encountered.

Mr Patel and his team are fantastic and very knowledgeable and the resident hygenist (sorry I am terrible at remembering names) was a delight, exceedingly proficient and very re-assuring. All in all it was a great experience."
