Gum disease can lead to systemic diseases.

Plaque and bacteria build-up, that cause gum disease, can travel through your body and effect other body organs. This is just one of the reasons why it is so important to look after your oral health.

At Orchard Dental we professionally clean your teeth to successfully remove any plaque and tartar. With this professional clean we are able to help you prevent gum disease and dental decay, which can be devastating to your oral health. We also highly encourage oral hygiene for children so they can maintain healthy smiles for life.

By going to your dentist regularly you reduce the chance of oral health problems down the track.

At Orchard Dental we recommend that you visit us twice a year. Regular check-ups can help detect dental problems early and reduce future expense. As you may already be aware, our examinations are very thorough to ensure no issues are left unnoticed.

Six monthly cleans are a very important part of dental health, they help prevent gum infections and periodontal disease. It is well established that there are direct links between periodontal disease and many systemic diseases, including heart disease.

Examinations also include oral cancer and oral disease assessment. When detected early, these medical problems can be treated with better prognosis. 6 monthly examinations will ensure your mouth’s health is checked regularly.

We perform x-rays of your teeth every two years as part of your examinations to ensure that there is no decay hiding where we can’t see it. We use digital x-rays that are very low in dosage and are developed in less than two minutes.
