Preventive Dentistry Mayfair

Preventive dental care is key to maintaining long-term oral health. It helps protect against two of the most common causes of tooth loss: gum disease and tooth decay. With the right daily care and regular check-ups, these conditions can often be avoided altogether, keeping your teeth and gums healthy for years to come.

Throughout the day, your teeth are exposed to plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on the tooth surface. Plaque bacteria produce acid that can erode enamel, increasing the risk of decay and infection.

When plaque is not effectively removed through daily brushing and flossing, it can lead to inflammation of the gums (gingivitis), progressing to gum disease (periodontitis) if left untreated. High levels of oral bacteria have also been linked to broader health issues, including heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

With so many dental products and tools available today, it can be difficult to know which are right for you. At Bond Dental, we offer guidance on choosing the most effective products for your needs, whether it’s selecting the right electric toothbrush, understanding the benefits of mouthwash, or learning the correct flossing technique.

A healthy smile starts with more than brushing alone. Your lifestyle, diet, and habits all influence the health of your gums and teeth. Our dental hygienist can provide personalised recommendations to support your oral health, including advice on smoking cessation, sugar intake, hydration, exercise, and sleep.

Your visit begins with a full check-up, assessing your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. We look for early signs of gum disease, tooth decay, and other potential issues before they become more serious.

Based on your needs, your appointment may include professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, fluoride application, or other preventive treatments. This helps protect against tooth decay and gum disease while supporting your long-term oral health.

We provide guidance on brushing and flossing techniques, recommend the most suitable dental products, and offer personalised tips on diet and lifestyle to maintain long-term oral health.

Ongoing check-ups allow us to monitor your oral health and adjust your care plan as needed, ensuring your teeth and gums stay healthy for years to come.
