Romsey Dental Care

We firmly believe in the principle that prevention is better than cure - we want our patients to keep their teeth for life. Pre-booking routine examinations helps us to ensure patients are seen at the right time, so that we can carefully monitor their dental health and provide the best advice to prevent problems developing in the first place. All our clinicians undergo regular postgraduate training to ensure that the treatment options they offer are the most up-to-date available - with the intention of helping our patients keep their teeth for life. Our reception staff are also trained to give you the best advice on our range of electric toothbrushes.

Gum disease causes bad breath, bleeding and in the long term - tooth loss, which is why gum treatment is a very high priority at Romsey Dental Care. Our hygienist, Andrew Hey has great enthusiasm for his role and the considerable benefits this provides for patients. Appointments are by special referral from dentists Samantha Price and Pedro Neto - a service that gives excellent value for money with the hygienist's lower hourly rate.

Good oral hygiene is fundamental to dental health and essential for fresh breath. Here are some examples of the services offered by our hygienist:

• Assessment and treatment of gum disease and advice on lifestyle issues relating to oral health.
• Oral hygiene instruction and advice on the best products for the patient's individual needs.
• Professional removal of tartar and plaque from the teeth to give a fresh bright smile.
• Airpolishing to remove even the most stubborn of stains caused by coffee or smoking.
• Fissure sealants - protective layer of resin bonded to the biting surfaces of back teeth to prevent decay.

Assessment and treatment gingivitis and gum disease - from £80 per appointment

Fissure sealants (protective coating on back teeth) - £15 per tooth

Our Dental Shop stocks a wide range of items specially selected by the dentists and hygienists, because it is essential that our patients use the right home care products in order to both treat and prevent dental diseases. Our prices are very competitive too, especially for electric toothbrushes. We stock only the models that have been shown to provide significantly better cleaning than a manual toothbrush.
