Why is fluoride so great for my teeth?

Food and bacteria are physically removed from tooth surfaces by brushing and flossing in a mechanical manner, which is the best method to avoid cavities and gum disease.

Gross, huh? By flossing daily, you can eliminate the bacteria before it has a chance to harden, which will keep your teeth and gums healthy and happy.

Am I suitable for teeth whitening?

Instead of visiting a qualified cosmetic dentist, many people buy home teeth whitening products online and assume they will be fine using them. This is extremely dangerous as these people don’t realise there are a large number of factors your dentist takes into account before starting a teeth whitening programme.

When you come in for your consultation your dentist will ask you a number of health and lifestyle questions and give you a physical assessment. If they say you’re okay to continue, you can start your treatment with our teeth whitening.

However, there are certain groups of people that we can’t treat. These groups are children, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and patients who suffer with gout.
