Preventive Care in Quakers Hill
Preventive care is the most cost-effective approach to long-term oral health. Our oral health therapist provides professional scale and clean appointments, fluoride treatments, and personalised oral hygiene guidance to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy between dental visits.
What preventive care includes
A professional scale and clean removes plaque and tartar build-up from the teeth and gumline, including deposits that can’t be removed by brushing and flossing at home. Regular cleaning reduces the risk of gum disease and supports the health of the enamel and surrounding bone.
The procedure is typically comfortable. For patients who experience sensitivity, topical anaesthetic can be applied to the gum tissue beforehand.
What is included
- Professional scale and clean to remove plaque and tartar
