Personalised Oral Care Plans for Long-Lasting Dental Health

While dental hygienists focus on prevention and maintenance, dental therapists can provide a broader range of treatments following a dentist’s check-up. They share similar training with dentists, ensuring you receive high-quality care. Their services encompass all treatments performed by hygienists, as well as restorative procedures like fillings and fissure sealants. For children’s primary teeth, they can conduct extractions and fit preformed metal crowns.
