HYGIENE

While seldom painful and frequently free of any obvious signs or symptoms, periodontal disease can progress, undetected, to the point where supporting bone is destroyed.

With 80% - 90% of all teenagers having some form of gingivitis (inflamed gums) and 75% of adult tooth loss over the age of 35 due to periodontal disease, early treatment and prevention is essential.
Centre Dentaire Amical Dental Practice places the need for regular hygiene visits on equal terms with regular dental examinations. So often the hygienist is seen simply as a cleaner of teeth, a fact so far from the truth.

Our hygienists are all highly skilled experts in the field of gum disease and on many occasions, with expert help and advice to the patient, have reversed seemingly desperate situations. In addition, they can also provide fluoride treatments, fissure sealants and advise on the correct use of dental sundries.

We are able to offer the services of an in-house periodontist for surgical procedures.
