General consultation including screening and diagnosis: A general consultation with a dentist where all of your past dental history is collected, an exploration of the mouth for correct diagnosis and the most effective treatment.

Topical fluoridation: During this treatment, fluoride is applied to the surface of the teeth to prevent cavities. The treatment will increase the strength of the enamel and protect them from acids and bacterial plaque.

Teeth cleaning: Removal of tartar on the teeth and external pigmentations. Tartar is made up of plaque, bacteria, food remains and calcium and sticks to the teeth. It is important to remove this build up to avoid periodontal disease.

Treatment of tooth sensitivity: Fluoride is applied to the surface of the teeth to reduce pain and sensitivity.

Sealant of fissures: This is a preventive measure where holes and fissures in the teeth are covered with a protective resin forming a barrier to prevent tooth decay.

Priority emergency consultations: A priority emergency consultation with a dentist.

Extractions

Simple extraction: A simple tooth extraction.

Tail extraction not included: Wisdom teeth and the third molar are commonly referred to as the tail. Not included means that it is on the outside of the jaw.

Tail extraction including dental cysts: The tail is referred to as the wisdom tooth and third molar which is house inside the maxillary bone. A dental cyst is a cavity which contains liquid or a pus like substance.

Extraction of radicular remains: These are extractions of the root remains which may have been left after a difficult extraction or damage by a cavity.

Extraction by odontosection: This is when a tooth is intentionally fractured to help facilitate an extraction.

Minor surgery

Removal of epulis: Removal of formation of tumors in the gum (Epulis) or the soft areas of the mouth.

Drainage gingival abscess: This is when an incision is made to the opening of an abscess infection in order to help with the release of its contents.

Apicectomy: A procedure where the tip of the root of a tooth via the gum is performed.

Tooth cyst: A cyst is a cavity which accumulates a liquid or other material which may eventually destroy the maxilla or mandible. It may also result in movement of the tooth or become a non-benign lesion.

ORTHODONTIC SURGERY

Fenestration: The dental fenestration comprises of removal of the bone and mucosa around the tooth to release and visualize the crown of the tooth, allowing the orthodontist to insert a bracket and bring the tooth to the dental arch.

Provisional obturation: Where a cavity is cleaned and filled with a temporary filling. This could be because of extensive cavities which may require more than one phase of treatment in order to correct the problem.

General consultation: A general consultation with a dentist. The patients information is collected along with their dental history. An exploration of the dental cavity is undertaken to enable the dentist to make an analysis and recommend the most effective treatment.

Oral health education: The dentist will discuss any preventative measures the patient can take in order to maintain good dental health and hygiene.

Intraoral x-ray: Radiographic plates are inserted into the mouth so that x-rays may be taken to analyse the oral cavity.

Topical fluoridation: Fluoride is applied to the outside surface of the teeth to help protect them from tooth decay. This then protects the teeth by strengthening the enamel and protect them from bacterial plaque.

Crack sealer: Also known as a fissure sealant, it is a preventative procedure where cracks and pits in the teeth are filled with a resin to protect them from decay.

Cleaning/Oral Hygiene: Process of removing tartar from the teeth which can lead to periodontal disease.

Tooth extraction: The removal of a tooth or part of a tooth of the maxillary bone.

Occlusal analysis: A procedure the relationships between the two arches are analysed and to ascertain occlusal stability.

SURGICAL TREATMENTS

Gingivectomy (per quadrant): Where damaged gum tissue is removed from the mouth.

COMPLEMENTARY TREATMENTS

Radiological stuff for orthodontics: A procedure that uses radiographics to permit the orthodontic study of the patient so that the correct diagnosis can be obtained. The procedure comprises of extraoral and intraoral photographs.

Tooth Extraction: The removal of a tooth or part of the tooth.

Periapical Radiography: A form of x-ray that explores the whole tooth from the crown to the apex. It also serves to investigate the periodontal space and surrounding bone tissue.

X-Ray: Dental x-rays are a diagnostic procedure used by the dentist to identify areas of decay, bone loss, abscesses, tumors and more.

Occlusal radiograph: A diagnostic procedure where different sized plates are placed in the mouth.

Periodontal radiography: A form of radiography to diagnose periodontal disease.

Lateral radiography of the skull: Used to identify dentoskeletal issues which may produce a non-aesthetic profile or bad bite.

Cephalometry: A diagnostic radiograph used for orthodontic treatment planning.

Computerized axial tomography: Also known as a CAT scan is used by dentists for diagnostic purposes to create three-dimensional image of the mouth and teeth.
