Focus on prevention
There are many different ways to harness affordable dentistry. Firstly, we treat by prevention strategies, this is the first & foremost way of making dentistry affordable. Not “a drill & fill “dental practice, instead focusing on reducing dental decay by prevention measures whether this is regular visits to hygiene department, applications of medicaments to reduce decay rate or education. These are the latest CAMBRA protocols; which are evidence based prevention measures that we know work to reduce decay. All these measures stop you spending money on repeat fillings, crowns and root canals harnessing the body’s own natural defence mechanisms to reduce disease as well as simple measures, like dietary changes, using certain toothpastes, mouthwashes or dentist applications that massively reduce the amount of new decay you will get.
