Dental decay and subsequent fillings
are not inevitable!
If you have a high rate of dental decay, The Dental Practice would recommend the following:
- Brush twice a day with a toothbrush containing fluoride and an anti-bacterial agent,
- Reduce the frequency of your sugar intake,
- Reduce the frequency of your fizzy/diet drink intake,
- Attend for regular dental check-ups and dental hygienist visits; at least every six months.

- Carrying out simple yet effective modern diagnostic
tests to assess your caries susceptibility,
- Assessing your dental decay risk based on
past and present decay,
- Treating your existing decay ,
- Investigating your diet,
- Giving you dietary and cleaning (oral hygiene)
advice,
- Applying topical fluoride where appropriate,
- Coating unfilled teeth with fissure sealants,
- Planning further check-ups and X-rays at appropriate
intervals based on your dental decay risk
