Oral health is continually being linked to systemic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular and respiratory disease; the need for preventative care has never been greater.  

 

 

 

 

With uncontrolled blood sugar levels you are more susceptable to periodontal disease and infection. If you have both periodontal disease and diabetes the ability to control your blood sugar level is extremely difficult and can lead to further complications.

 

Regular dental hygiene care decreases the amount of bacteria in the mouth which can reduce the amount of bacteria inhaled into the lungs. This can aid in the mitigation of severe lung or pre-existing conditions.

 

Studies are showing that uncontrolled periodontal disease can be a contributing risk factor to heart disease.  Oral bacteria and their by-products are being found throughout the bloodstream.

 

 

 

Floss uses the latest technology for your dental hygiene appointment: 

 

• Cavitron or 'power water scaler' to remove calculus from above

 

and   below the gumline;

 

• The latest in hand instruments; 

 

• Subgingival irrigation with antimicrobials in periodontal pockets;

 

• Needle-free anaesthesia for enhanced comfort during scaling

 

and root planing; and

 

 

• New desensitizers to decrease cold tooth sensitivity.

 

Referrals to other health care providers when required.

 

 

 

 

 

 

All this in a calm, relaxed atmosphere.
