Good oral hygiene for your overall wellbeing

At Parrock Dental we believe that the foundation of an attractive, healthy smile is built on a preventative and holistic approach to long-lasting oral health.

Our findings have shown that patients who see the dentist for examinations every six months and the hygienist every three months have the healthiest gums and teeth and require the least dental treatment over the years due to decay, gum issues and broken teeth.

Whether you are seeking dental implants, orthodontics, or cosmetic dentistry, it is very likely that your treatment programme will integrate closely with an assessment of your oral health.

Healthy smile, healthy lifestyle

Studies have found that evidence of some systemic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and many other major concerns may appear in the mouth first. Our hygienists and therapists in Gravesend and Northfleet monitor any changes in your oral health between visits. If they see anything of concern, theyÎll inform you and recommend a visit to your GP.

Our hygiene and therapy team are a great source of information. They can provide training on the correct way to brush your teeth, how to floss effectively, how to use interdental cleaners, toothbrush care, hygiene aids that may be helpful, how much and what type of toothpaste to use, and much more.
