​Preventive Dental Care

At St Ives Family Dental, Dr Hardwick and the team believe that early intervention with a good preventive program that includes regular check ups and a careful home cleaning routine is essential to good long term dental health.

Regular preventive care will help maintain your healthy smile and keep teeth and gums in ideal condition. At each check up we monitor for any signs of gum disease or tooth decay, perform scaling, polishing and provide appropriate advice on good oral hygiene.
​
If gums are red, swollen or bleed easily we will review risk of periodontal disease and recommend comprehensive treatment to prevent disease.
