Preventative Care

At Gerrards Cross Dentist our aim is to prevent disease first to keep your valuable teeth untouched! Where we need to carry out restorative work, our dentists are conservative which means they will do their best to protect your tooth structure as much as possible and give you advice on how to maintain your teeth in good condition.

What is preventive dentistry?

Preventive dentistry is the modern way of helping you keep a healthy mouth. It helps you to keep your teeth, and means you need to have less dental treatment. The two main causes of tooth loss are decay and gum disease. The better you prevent or deal with these two problems, the more chance you will have of keeping your teeth for life.

When the dental team and patient work together, this can help to prevent the need for treatment – especially fillings and extractions. Your dental team will recommend a course of treatment to get your mouth into good condition, and then work out a ‘maintenance plan’ to help you keep it that way.

Can everybody benefit from preventive dentistry?

Yes. Preventive dentistry will benefit anyone with some of their own teeth. People who don’t have any teeth can also benefit, because conditions such as mouth cancer and denture stomatitis can be spotted during regular visits to the dental team and then treated. It is excellent for children and young people, but it is never too late to start.

What is involved?

Your dental team will first check your teeth and gums, and talk to you about any treatment you need. The main aim is to help you get your mouth really healthy. The dental team will thoroughly remove all plaque and tartar from your teeth. This is often called a ‘scale and polish’.

The dental team will show you the best ways to brush, and how to clean in between your teeth using interdental brushes or floss, to remove the bacterial ‘plaque’ which forms constantly on your teeth.

Dr Lachhanni is the perfect dentist for those who like me are nervous of going to the dentist. He explains the treatment in a very clear and concise way, taking his time and making sure you are pain free. I was handed the TV remote controls to choose my favourite programme whilst treatment was taking place. He gave me excellent advice on how best to look after and clean my teeth. The dental surgery is easy to find, clean and modern. I was also impressed that my initial contact was made via email to them on a Sunday - I received a phone call the same day with an emergency appointment booked for the following day - what an amazing service!

Amazing experience and service at the Gerrards Cross Dentist. I’ve been seen by Dr J Bahra over the last few weeks and was made to feel extremely comfortable with quick and painless procedures. Will definitely be booking in my teeth whitening soon. Thanks!

What an amazing dental practice. My partner went here for some work when we recently moved to the area and he recommended the practice. I honestly thought ‘How good can a dentist really be?’ ... well I just discovered! Not only was the treatment quick, effective and painless, but you also get to watch Netflix whilst it’s being done! Probably the most relaxing hour of my day. I highly recommend!

I recently moved to the area and chose to come to Gerrards Cross Dentist based on some reviews here. The reviews are accurate, it’s a very warm and welcoming place but most importantly the dentists are of the highest quality. Very caring with aftercare that has been second to none. I couldn’t recommend this dentist enough.
