Oral health therapists are essential members of the dental care team, specialising in the promotion of oral health and the prevention of dental disease. At Admire Dentistry, our oral health therapists are qualified to provide a range of dental treatments, including preventive, restorative, and therapeutic services to patients of all ages.

When to Visit an Oral Health Therapist

Regular Dental Check-ups: Regular visits to an oral health therapist are crucial for maintaining optimal oral health. They can provide professional cleaning, apply fluoride treatments, and offer advice on effective oral hygiene practices.

Early Detection of Dental Issues: Oral health therapists are trained to identify early signs of dental problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. Early detection often means simpler and less costly treatments.

Children’s Dental Health: Oral health therapists are particularly skilled in managing the dental health of children and adolescents. They provide guidance on tooth development, preventive care and can help instil good oral hygiene habits from a young age.

Management of Gum Disease: If you’re experiencing signs of gum disease such as bleeding, swelling, or receding gums, an oral health therapist can provide specialised care and advice on managing the condition.

The Benefits of Seeing an Oral Health Therapist

Preventive Care: Oral health therapists focus heavily on prevention, helping you avoid the development of dental issues through education and early intervention.

Personalised Oral Hygiene Strategies: They can provide tailored advice and strategies to improve your at-home oral care routine, ensuring your teeth and gums stay healthy.

Comprehensive Dental Care: Working closely with dentists and other dental specialists, oral health therapists ensure that your oral care is comprehensive and coordinated.
