A good daily dental hygiene routine and regular dental hygienist appointments ensure your teeth remain clean even in those hard to reach places to prevent tooth decay and more expensive treatments in the future.

It will also will ensure your teeth and gums are rid of the daily build-up of plaque and tartar whilst regular dental hygiene appointments remove the plaque and tartar in those harder to reach places to prevent cavities, gingivitis, and gum disease.

Gum disease and tooth decay is the most common global disease affecting every family. Over 80% of cavities occur inside pits and fissures on chewing surfaces where brushing cannot reach food left trapped after every meal or snack and saliva or fluoride have no access to neutralise acid and re-mineralise demineralised tooth.
