Family & General Dentistry at Heathwood Dental Practice

Family & General Dentistry

As all of our dentists have families, we particularly understand the importance of providing treatment to our younger patients. We take a preventative approach to try and reduce the chance of dental problems later in life, using a number of techniques:

• Dietary advice: To help avoid damaging foodstuffs
• Oral Hygiene: Teaching good habits early!
• Preventative treatments such as fluoride varnish applications at each checkup, or fissure sealants.
• Orthodontics: Misaligned teeth are often harder to maintain. We can provide referrals to local centres of excellence in orthodontics when required.

Between us, our team will ensure that yours and your families first experiences of dentistry are positive, so that they grow into confident and well-informed adult patients. Treatment for patients younger than 19 and full-time education can be provided under the NHS.
