About Us

 

The practice has been caring for the oral health of the residents of Warsash and the surrounding areas for over 30 years. The practice has two surgeries on the first floor, a new ground floor surgery will be fitted and in operation by July 2007. The practice is owned by Dr George Wilby-Lopez.

 

We are committed to preventative dentistry and central to this philosophy are regular examinations at the practice. These examinations will ensure you long term oral health so that you can enjoy your smile for many, many years. When you attend the practice for a full examination of your teeth and gums early detection of any problems can save the need for extensive dental treatment.

The importance of dental hygiene

A dental hygiene appointment has three main roles:

· Removal of calculus (tartar) from teeth this is done by a technique called scaling and polishing.

· Treating gum disease (also known as ‘gingivitis’ or ‘periodontal disease’) - this is caused by plaque which is a sticky film of bacteria. If left untreated your gums will start to swell and bleed and will ultimately result in tooth loss. Tooth loss is not due to aging—it is due to gum disease.

· Teaching patients good oral hygiene techniques — individually tailored to specific needs.

 

There is now increasing evidence linking gum disease with heart disease and strokes. It is also the main reason for loss of teeth and we take the treatment of gum disease very seriously.
