An attractive and a healthy smile is a crucial part of everyone’s life. We at Active Dental Care are committed to provide the best care for our patients. (Every patient gets a comprehensive exam as a start, followed by a detailed study done to know the status and requirements of the patient.) A treatment plan to suit every patient is then tailored and explained. This is the best way to allow our dentists to help all our patients achieve and maintain excellent oral health.

A COMPREHENSIVE EXAM WITH OUR DENTISTS IS MORE THAN JUST A QUICK CHECK UP.

It is a thorough examination of the teeth, gums, soft tissues and structures surrounding the oral cavity. In order to assess, diagnose, propose and provide the best possible treatment, our dentists will routinely recommend x-rays and photographs to acquire additional information. Our main objective is to educate and empower the patients to make the right decision and to fit their needs. (We discuss the personalised treatment plan in detail with all the options detailed.) We understand everyone’s needs can be different and therefore take every opportunity to understand our patients and support their choice.

Gum health

Gum disease is slow and mostly painless, and most patients do not realize theunderlying damage it does over a period before the teeth become loose. It isone of the most common reasons for tooth loss.If diagnosed and treated early, gum disease is a reversible condition, and ittakes simple measures to keep it at bay. By regularly seeing a dentalprofessional, gum disease is simple and easy to treat. By delaying the process,most gum disease progresses deeper into the bone and causes irreversibledamage. The bone which is the support system of teeth will then becompromised and cause tooth/teeth loss. Periodontal clean is a deep cleanthat not only removes plaque on tooth surfaces but also the adamant stickyand stubborn plaque which is on root surface of teeth below the gum line. Bymonitoring at a regular interval, gum health can be optimal thereby reducingthe risk of gum disease to a great extent.Speak to our dentists who can explain the ill effects of bacterial plaque whichnot only causes dental plaque but also gum disease.Our dentists will educate all our patients when they come for their activemaintenance appointments which will help to prevent gum disease.
