We believe in prevention over cure
At Nothing But The Tooth, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality care to keep your smile healthy for life.
That’s why our dental care package for your regular appointments prioritises prevention, focusing on the treatments that deliver the best long-term benefits for your oral health.
Benefits of Therapy-Led Care
Preventive Focus
Consistent care helps prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health issues before they require extensive treatment.
Overall Health Benefits
There is also strong evidence that good gum health reduces your risk of many serious illnesses, for example heart disease, stroke and Alzheimer’s.
Improved Wellbeing
Healthy teeth and gums can also make diabetes easier to manage, reduce the risk of premature birth and stillbirth, and even support fertility.
Gum Health Management
Essential for patients with gum disease, ensuring regular gentle and careful deep cleaning and monitoring.
Personal Oral Hygiene Advice
Helps improve daily brushing, flossing, and lifestyle habits for long-term oral health.
Long-term Savings
This investment in your oral health will reduce the likelihood of needing complex treatments in the future.
What is Therapy-Led Care?
Therapy-led care is a proactive approach to oral health, focusing on preventive and ongoing care provided primarily by dental hygienists and therapists. This approach ensures the best long term health outcomes as hygienists and therapists specialise in maintaining healthy teeth and gums through detailed assessment and monitoring of your whole mouth, gum health and disease management, and bespoke and intensive patient education.
What is Guided Biofilm Therapy?
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is an advanced, gentle, and highly effective system for assessing the health of your gums, revealing where issues lie, removing bacterial-infected plaque, tartar, and stains while preserving the health of your teeth and gums. It is a minimally invasive and pain-free alternative to traditional scaling and polishing and is how we provide all our preventive hygiene care at Nothing But The Tooth.
Our Regular Care Structure
Visit 1: Examination and Guided Biofilm Therapy
For your first visit, you will see your dentist for a Healthy Mouth Assessment. Most patients will benefit from seeing one of our hygiene therapists for Guided Biofilm Therapy. It is helpful if you attend your hygiene therapy appointment first, either immediately or up to a month before your dentist appointment.
Visit 2: Guided Biofilm Therapy with examination if required
For your second visit of the year, your hygiene therapist will provide Guided Biofilm Therapy, as well as checking your teeth for signs of decay and completing a mouth cancer screening.
Visits 3 & 4: Additional Hygiene Appointments
Some patients need to see the therapist more than twice a year. As GBT offers more thorough care, we recommend it for every hygiene appointment. That’s why members of our Sparkle Club receive this as part of their membership. Patients who pay as they go may choose to have additional appointments as GBT or standard hygiene.
