Prevention of dental disease is at the heart of our ethos at Heaton Moor Dental in Stockport. Our dentists and dental hygienist work closely together to be able to provide you with a personalised preventive plan. No two patients are the same and no two plans will be the same.
Our dental hygienist will help you find the right way for you to keep your teeth free of plaque and build up to help prevent both gum disease and tooth decay. She will also clean your teeth and remove deposits and if necessary provide gum disease treatments too.
At the end of your appointment she will polish your teeth and perhaps apply preventive treatments such as fluoride or gum disease treatments. You will receive the right care for you to enable optimal dental health.
