Preventative Dental
Treatments
Good dental hygiene is the most successful way of preventing long-term dental and gum problems. It also ensures that any treatments you receive will be effective and long-lasting. Needless to say, it also helps to raise your general level of well-being.
Our dental hygienists are highly qualified and registered with the Irish Dental Council. Their focus is dental and gum health. In addition, their aim is to make the patients feel comfortable, to understand the gum disease process thoroughly and to feel completely satisfied with the treatment provided.
What are the benefits
Your hygienist will advise you on how often you need to attend. Each patient’s interval is different but usually we recommend between every 3 to 6 months for regular maintenance. More advanced disease levels would need more comprehensive care.
Dental Plaque is a bacterial film which gathers at the neck of the teeth. Here it initially just causes inflammation or gum disease. This is recognised by gums that bleed on brushing and flossing.
If left untreated, it will progress to the more destructive Periodontal disease (periodontitis) where the supporting bone of the tooth is lost.
Here at Dublin Dental, we provide full treatment for both gum disease (scaling) to deeper root cleaning and periodontal disease.
At your consultation, we will discuss your level of disease and arrange the appropriate treatment for you.
Bad breath is usually due to poor oral hygiene. Our hygienists, Estelle and Christelle, will explain all this to you.
Smoking can also contribute. Occasionally the bad breath may have origins in other areas like your stomach.

Early detection of decay can often avoid the need for fillings altogether.
At Dublin Dental we also provide flouride treatments to remineralise early decay on smooth surfaces.
Mouth cancer can occur in areas like tongue, cheek lining, floor of the mouth.
Dentists and hygienists at Dublin Dental are vigilant in our attempts for early detection. This early detection improves chances of survival/recovery.
We also provide advice on lifestyle issues that may increase your risk, such as smoking and alcohol consumption.
Fissure sealants are clear resins placed on the biting surfaces to prevent decay especially on newly erupted teeth. Essentially, they are like a strong clear nail varnish.
Our hygienists provide this service. Typically this is for 6, 7, 8 year olds. However in some situations they can be provided for older ages.
