Dental hygiene services and preventative care at the The Lodge Dental Suite.
At The Lodge Dental Suite we believe that good oral hygiene is essential for your dental health, as well as your overall well-being. We would prefer to prevent problems from occurring in the first place rather than fixing them when they happen.
To maintain your smile, we recommend you have dental check-ups and dental hygienist appointments on a regular basis. During your dental hygienist appointments we will advise you on the best way to look after your teeth at home, including correct flossing and brushing techniques and other oral hygiene practices according to your personal requirements.
Dental care for you and your family at The Lodge Dental Suite. Contact us today about dental hygiene appointments or about joining the Practice.
Bad breath is a common problem but one that can be easily avoided.
Regular visits to the dental hygienist where we will professionally clean your teeth (usually called a scale and polish), together with following our advice on how to look after your teeth between visits will keep the build up of plaque to a minimum, your gums healthy and your mouth feeling fresh. This will reduce or completely resolve the problem of bad breath.

Gum diseases is caused by plaque, a film of bacteria that forms on the surface of the teeth and gums every day. Most of the bacteria is completely harmless, but some can cause gum disease. To prevent the build up of plaque and protect your gums it is important that you floss and brush your teeth every day. There are two main forms of gum disease:
Gingivitis
If you have Gingivitis the gums around your teeth will become very red and swollen and often the gums will bleed when you are cleaning your teeth.
Periodontal disease
If Gingivitis is left untreated it can progress into a more serious condition called periodontitis, where the deeper structures of the tooth, jaw bone and the connecting ligaments can be destroyed and may result in the loss of a tooth.
Unfortunately, gum disease progresses painlessly which is why we recommend regular dental hygienist appointments. If the disease is left untreated for a long time, treatment can become more difficult.

Early tooth decay does not tend to show many physical signs and your tooth can look and feel healthy.
During your routine dental check-ups we will carry out a thorough examination of your mouth. Based on this, it may also be important for us to take an x-ray to help us assess whether you have any decay under the enamel, any possible infections in the roots, or any bone loss around the tooth.
If we spot a problem we will discuss options with you, we would prefer to treat any problems identified as soon as possible as they are much easier and less expensive to treat.
Contact us today if you are concerned about tooth decay, are in pain or want to learn more about dental hygiene appointments.
Mouth cancer can occur in any part of the mouth, including the tongue, lips and throat. Mouth cancers have a higher proportion of deaths per number of cases than breast cancer, cervical cancer or skin melanoma. The mortality rate is just over 50%, despite treatment, with about 1,700 deaths per year in the UK. This is because of late detection. Visit your dentist at once if you notice any abnormal problems or are not sure. Regular dental check ups allow early detection of abnormalities in the mouth.
Mouth Cancer Foundation is a registered charity that raises awareness of mouth cancers and provides information and support to patients, carers and health professionals.

We believe it is important to bring your children with you to dental appointments as soon as possible, even before their teeth have come through as this will help them get used to the sights, smells and sounds of a Dental Practice.
We will teach your children the most effective brushing techniques with the hope that they will carry these skills into adulthood.
