The practice has recently designed a Preventive Dental Unit where children can follow their personal Preventive Care Programme. This involves learning about toothbrushing and oral hygiene, diet advice and how to prevent tooth and gum loss in the future.

[N.B. Recent research showed that only 2% of the UK population have ever been shown how to use their toothbrush effectively]

The programme features:

• Visits every 3 months
• Fissure Sealants (to stop the teeth decaying on their biting surfaces).
• White Fillings (to keep that smile bright).
• Worldwide Emergency Cover (and we all know how often kids have accidents).
• Personal Smilefile (to log what they’ve learnt and what to do).

All this for the price of a packet of crisps per day.

This is all in keeping with our practice policy of: "Prevention is better than cure".
