Preventive dentistry
Professional removal of hardened plaque and staining, followed by practical coaching on the two or three habits that will make the most difference.
Hardened plaque — tartar — cannot be brushed off at home. Left alone it irritates the gums, and inflamed gums are the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.
Our hygienist removes deposits above and just below the gumline with ultrasonic and hand instruments, then polishes the surfaces so plaque takes longer to re-attach. Airflow polishing is available for tea, coffee, tobacco and betel staining.
The last part of the visit matters most: a short, honest conversation about what is realistically going to fit into your routine at home.

Patient reviews
I had not seen a hygienist in eleven years and was embarrassed about it. Menaka did not make a thing of it, just got on with it and showed me what to change. I have been back every six months since.
