Introducing Oral Health Therapy to Central Dental Alexandra

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.
