From January 2018 we will have an Oral Health Therapist (OHT) joining our team. So what is an OHT? They are dual qualified to provide both dental hygiene and dental therapy, this means they can do lots of the same stuff our dentists do.

Victoria, our new OHT will –

• Help prevent and treat gum disease in adults by doing very through dental cleans every 3, 6 or 12 months. Track progression or healing of your gum disease with full periodontal charting and dental xrays. Your periodontal care will often be shared with one of our dentists, and occasionally referred to a private specialist.
• Keep your teeth looking and feeling as lovely as possible by providing regular cleans and stain removal with our new airflow prophylaxis master. Victoria can also provide dentist whitening treatments.
• Do preventative dental checks, cleans, xrays, fluoride treatments, fissure sealants and small white fillings in patients under 18.

We have been very busy in the lead up to Christmas. Amelia is already booked out to the second week of December! So please don’t put off your treatment, as you may have to wait!

We are in the process of adding a second Dental Chair, and a familiar face will be helping us catch up.

The end of the year is fast approaching and our books are filling up fast, we are already booking dental appointments into November. If you are planning on going away for the holidays or planning an overseas trip, it pays to have a dental checkup before you go.

Amelia will be away from the 8th until the 17th of August. As she will be attending the NZDA Conference in Auckland. these events help us keep upto date with current knowledge .

Please if you have any issues it is important to give us a call asap, as we are currently booked upto 4 weeks out.
