“During the 18 years my family have attended the Cavehill Dental Care Practice we have found the standard of care very high. I attend the hygienist every 16 weeks and find the friendly staff are very polite and helpful.”
V. Canning

Our two hygienists work very closely with the dentists in order to help our patients prevent and reduce periodontal problems including gum disease and tooth decay. This forms a very important part of patient care as gum disease is the main cause for loss of adult teeth.

Regular visits to our hygienists will help keep your teeth looking clean and breath smelling fresh.
