Prevention is an extremely important part of your dental treatment, as good oral hygiene will reduce the need for dental treatment in the future. We have therefore heavily invested in this aspect of your care.

We have several therapists and hygienists and at Flint and Flint dental practice in Sheffield who are involved in our preventive care programme. Regular maintenance of your teeth and gums can help prevent dental decay and gum disease, resulting in less dentistry in the future and retaining teeth for life. For all new patients, a gum assessment is carried out to gather the required information. The gum disease process is now well understood, so dental treatments are available for patients with current gum disease, or who have had the disease historically. By using the very latest techniques, the team at Flint and Flint ensure that your gum health is well cared for.

We take great care in the maintenance of our patient’s gum health as undiagnosed or untreated gum disease may lead to tooth loss.

Children benefit from hygienist visits as oral hygiene instructions are given and disclosing tablets may be used to highlight areas missed during brushing!
