Steps To Stabilise Oral Health

Pain Control

Barkhill Clinic provides pain controlled Dentistry through the use of topical and local anaesthetics, intravenous sedation, patient management and laser techniques.

Homecare

Your personalised homecare programme will be designed to educate and motivate you to the highest standard of personal oral health care. You will become aware of dental disease and how it affects your general health. Feed back from patients over the last 20 years informs us that this programme was pivotal in changing their attitudes to their oral health care. If you do nothing else do this!

Non Surgical Gum Therapy

Often, the early stages of periodontal disease are best treated by non-surgical periodontal therapy. This usually consists of placing a fine ultrasonic tip and / or hand instrument in between the tooth and gum tissue to remove the bio film of bacterial plaque and calculus (tartar) from the tooth and its root surfaces.

Tooth Decay

The holes in your teeth should be repaired as quickly as possible, if left too long the tooth decay may cause nerve pain or even tooth loss. We are an amalgam free practice. We’ll advise you on the best white or tooth coloured filling material for your tooth.

Maintenance

Your dental disease has now been treated. Your mouth is healthy! Staying healthy requires regular maintenance and daily application of your homecare regime. Your recall programme will be customised to make sure you stay in tip top condition.
