Ortho Clean

Good oral hygiene is paramount before, during and after orthodontic treatment. It is normally recommended that a patient sees a Hygienist every 3-6 months whilst they are undergoing orthodontic treatment. This is to ensure that the teeth, gums and orthodontic appliance are being cleaned well.

Periodontal Treatment

Periodontal treatment is normally used on patients who are suffering from moderate to severe gum disease. If gum disease is left too long without treatment, this can result in tooth extraction and removal. By having periodontal treatment, your oral hygiene will benefit from your gums becoming significantly healthier and your teeth feeling firmer. After treatment is complete, you won’t have to worry about your gums being destroyed or bone augmentation being needed.
