Dental Health = Less Dentistry

Less dentistry, more cleaning. Many patients are now seeing a lot less of their dentists. This is not because they are neglectful. Quite the opposite. Once they have proved to themselves that their preventative regime is working then the detailed "check-ups" by the dentist can be spaced further and further apart.

The concept is that the Hygienist takes over the role of checking your preventative care at the regular six-monthly hygiene visits. She will of course also polish off the odd accumulation of stain and tartar and check for any signs of dental disease.

Once the patient, the hygienist and the dentist have all reassured themselves that cleaning, diet and sugar consumption is under control the dentist need only be involved for a full examination including x-rays either annually or even for the fittest patients each two years.
