What does front-line management offer?

Advice on your daily oral hygiene routine.

 

Regular monitoring of oral health for the first signs of any problems.

 

Scaling and polishing teeth and root surface debridement (periodontal treatment) to eliminate harmful plaque and tartar which can cause bad breath.
