Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry is a modern approach that helps you maintain a healthy mouth and reduce the need for extensive dental treatments. At Medowie Dental Clinic, we focus on helping you retain your natural teeth by preventing the two leading causes of tooth loss—tooth decay and gum disease. The better these issues are managed, the greater your chances of keeping your teeth strong and healthy for life.

Our experienced team at Medowie Dental Clinic works closely with you to monitor and improve your oral health. After assessing your current dental condition, we may recommend a personalized treatment plan followed by a tailored maintenance program to ensure long-term results and ongoing dental wellness.

What can we help you with?

Fissure Seals

A fissure sealant is a plastic resin fixed in the tooth’s chewing surface pits and deep grooves. Fissure sealants are generally placed on permanent molars and premolars. When the crack seals a tooth, the tooth grooves are occupied, and the tooth surface becomes beautiful and smooth; the sealant essentially acts as a barrier, protecting the enamel of the plate and acids.

Scaling & Cleaning

Scaling and dental cleaning is a general procedure performed as a form of preventive dentistry. In other words, it is designed to be part of your dental hygiene to keep your teeth clean and healthy. Scaling and tooth cleaning and other oral hygiene measures, such as brushing, flossing, healthy eating, and mouthwash, can help decrease the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

Occlusal Splint

An occlusal splint aims to help protect teeth and their supporting structures from damage caused by clenching and grinding the teeth. Our Medowie Dental surgeons adequately adjust the occlusal splint so that you keep your jaw muscles relaxed and avoid grinding and clenching your teeth.

Mouthguard

 Mouthguards are coverings over teeth and are often used to protect teeth from injuries caused by grinding teeth and while playing sports. An effective mouthguard should be comfortable, withstand tears, durable and easy to clean, and should not restrict your breathing or speech.
