I want healthy teeth and gums

Regular check ups and having your teeth cleaned professionally are vital to ensuring healthy teeth and gums. Your Genix Healthcare/GENCARE dentist will usually recommend a dental check up at least once a year, but this will depend on the condition of your teeth and the treatments you have had in the past.

Routine dental care is available on:

NHS
GENCARE - the affordable alternative to NHS and private dentistry

Dental Hygienist

Dental hygienists are specially trained to clean patients' teeth professionally, which is usually referred to as scaling and polishing. The hygienist plays a vital role in the dental team, and perhaps their most important task is showing patients the best way to keep their teeth free of plaque. They also give advice on diet and preventing dental decay.

It's a fact - 19 out of 20 people suffer from gum disease at some point in their life, making it the most common, non-infectious disease in the world (National Smile Month). Gum disease is the main cause for loss of adult teeth.

Genix Healthcare hygienists can provide the following services to patients:

Preventive advice - day-to-day care of your gums and teeth
Dental care and tooth brushing sessions for your children
Teeth cleaning and polishing
Administration of fluoride
Administration of anaesthetic, if necessary
Applying fissure seal on children's teeth
Advice on giving up smoking
Stain removal with AIR-FLOW professional cleaning system - eg tea, coffee or red wine stains.
