Prevention is better than cure

This is very true for dentistry.

It is our aim, through education and encouragement, to bring our young patients to adulthood without having a filling or worse, an extraction.

We regularly disclose our young patients to ensure that they are brushing their teeth correctly by removing all the plaque which builds up on the teeth. They (and their parents) are taught to be aware of hidden sugars in their diet and the importance of avoiding frequent snacking and the dangers of enamel erosion by acidic drinks.

Adults are encouraged to ensure their mouths are kept clean by daily brushing, flossing, use of interdental brushes and regular visits to the hygienist.

Good plaque control can prevent bad breath, tooth decay, bleeding gums and periodontal disease which causes more tooth loss than dental decay.

It is important to have regular check-ups so that any changes are picked up at an early stage.

David Vaugham Dental Care is the only practice between Birmingham and Glasgow to offer this innovative system.
