AVOIDING THE NEED FOR TREATMENT
Keeping Your Mouth Healthy and Stable
This is where we can really help you a lot!
To avoid the need for dental treatment you need your mouth to be healthy and stable.
Stability means that your mouth is strong…
Strong enough to resist the constant battering that day-to-day living and eating imposes on it. When you chew, the teeth at the back of your mouth can exert a force of up to four tons to the square inch! The food cannot resist that force and breaks up. Your teeth must not do the same!
Stability comes from strength…
The strength of individual teeth, and the strength that comes from having sufficient teeth to share the loads that they have to cope with. We can support your individual teeth where they need it with the strength of cast metal concealed under tooth-coloured materials, and we can replace missing teeth with the incredible strength of beautiful-looking bridges.
Once your mouth is stable, all you need to do is to keep it healthy.
The two diseases that attack your mouth are tooth decay and gum disease. Luckily both are caused by the same problem – poor cleaning. So the solution is to keep your mouth perfectly clean. That is why we keep our own hygienist, to help you to do this for yourself, and to support you with help and advice.
What could be more important for your
well-being?
Of course, you need to avoid accidents, too! If you take part in activities that expose you to the risk of damage to your mouth and teeth, like hockey, martial arts, or squash, then we can supply you with a comfortable and effective custom-made mouthguard to protect your important and delicate assets, your mouth and teeth.
