Oral hygiene is absolutely key to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Our hygiene programme at Aquae Sulis Dental ensures patients have the build-up of deposits and plaque regularly removed from their teeth. It also allows us to assess and instruct on the best ways to keep the teeth and gums healthy which surprisingly few people have ever been correctly taught. We also offer practical dietary advice to minimise the development of dental decay.

However, it is not only the prevention of decay and gum disease we are interested in; it is now widely recognised that dental disease as a result of poor oral hygiene is linked to heart disease, diabetes and low birth-weight babies. Good, oral hygiene has never been more important and from the very young to the elderly we tailor advice to best suit the individual.
