What the consultation covers
We begin with a full intraoral examination — teeth, gums, soft tissues and bite. We assess plaque levels, gum condition, enamel wear and any early signs of decay. If anything requires follow-up, we explain it in plain language and discuss options before proceeding.
We then review your home care routine. How often you brush, which technique you use, whether you floss or use interdental brushes, your diet, any medications that affect saliva. This shapes the personalised plan.
Your individual hygiene plan
The plan is a practical one-page summary you take home: which tools suit your mouth, the correct technique, how often to replace your toothbrush, which mouthwash (if any) is right for you, and a realistic daily routine that fits your life.
For patients with specific conditions — sensitive teeth, gum recession, braces, implants, pregnancy, diabetes — the plan is adapted to protect and support the tissue that needs it most.
Why regular consultations matter
Most dental problems are slow-building. A professional review every six months catches early decay, gum inflammation and enamel wear while they are still reversible or need only minimal treatment. It is the single most cost-effective dentistry you can have.
