At Dentistry for Your Health, our dentistry team is dedicated to providing a strong foundation for great oral hygiene. Dr. Amparo and Dr. Rios and our professional staff are committed to ensuring our Gordon patients receive thorough care during their twice-yearly dental examinations and cleanings.

First Consultation

On your first consultation you can expect a comprehensive assessment of your oral health needs, including taking Xrays if necessary. We base our treatment strategies on the fact that an individual tooth can have a negative affect on various components of the body.  Underlying medical conditions may also be having an impact on your teeth which is why we focus on personalising treatments for our patients. For problems outside of our scope of practice, we refer our patients to recognised specialists, holistic doctors and natural therapists who will address these concerns. We will discuss your treatment plan and provide you with a quotation of fees prior to your treatment. We are motivated to provide the highest standard of dental services for all ages employing the latest techniques, materials and technology. We strongly recommend six-monthly checkups.

The Dental Examination

During a twice-yearly check-up, patients receive a thorough examination of their teeth, gums, tongue, jaw, and neck. Dr. Amparo or Dr. Rios will examine each tooth for cavities, plaque, or damage using a small pick instrument and mirror. An examination of your gums will detect if any gum disease is present or needs treatment. Your head, neck and jaw are examined to diagnose any possible issues with glands or joints, such as TMJ disorder. If necessary, our doctors may recommend additional X-rays, or a further periodontal inspection.

Comprehensive Dental Cleaning

Professional cleanings are recommended to be given twice a year to prevent cavities and identify any oral health issues as early as possible. A professional cleaning supplements the oral hygiene you maintain at home.

While it is recommended that adults brush two to three times a day and floss once a day, we recognise that fact that everyone's oral care needs are different.  We believe that patient education is a valuable tool because your daily maintenance routine will help you keep your gums and teeth healthy.  A deep cleaning twice a year by one of our dentists includes a polishing and a remineralising treatment to prevent cavities and protect teeth from decay.
