What is a dental therapist?

Our dental therapists are key members of our team at Roseacre Dental Practice. They provide routine care for our patients and support our dentists to ensure the highest quality of the dentistry is performed.

What treatments do they provide?

Our dental therapists provide attentive care that includes examinations, prescribing medications, and x-rays to support further treatment. They can also place adult and child fillings with care and precision, and extract baby teeth safely and efficiently. They can provide preventative dental care and introduce you to products and techniques that will benefit your care routine.

What is a fissure sealant?

Fissure sealants are plastic coatings that are painted onto the grooves of the back of the teeth. They form a protective layer that keeps food and bacteria from getting stuck in the tiny grooves in the teeth, helping to prevent decay. Our dental therapists can provide this treatment to keep your teeth in the best condition possible.

What is pulpal therapy for children?

The pulp is integral to the development and stability of your children’s teeth, but through accident or trauma, it can become exposed and inflamed. Pulpal therapy will maintain the tooth so we don’t lose it and can be used in both baby teeth and adult teeth.

Why should my child receive fluoride application?

We use fluoride varnish to coat the outside of the tooth to protect against tooth decay. The gel sets quickly have a pleasant taste, and a fruity smell to ensure your child remains relaxed and comfortable during their treatment. By applying fluoride twice and year and maintaining good brushing habits, you can drastically reduce the chances of tooth decay.

Everyone is very caring. I highly recommend Alice - she is a fantastic dentist and is incredibly compassionate and gracious. I’m a very nervous patient but Alice always puts me at ease, even when I had to have root canal for a cracked tooth! Thank you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am 70 and am still terrified of going to the dentist! I had some problems with a crown and knew I needed work done. Friends of mine suggested Roseacre. I first saw Lyndsey (dentist) and she was amazing! She was so patient. I had to have the crown and what was left of the tooth underneath removed. I can honestly say I never felt a thing! Today was the hygienist. Kevin and his nurse, Hannah were so patient with me.they were wonderful. I can highly recommend this practice.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Kevin my hygienist and his assistant highly enough! From the moment I walked in, they were both incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming. We even shared a few jokes and laughs, which you definitely don't expect during a hygienist visit! Kevin was exceptionally thorough with my check and clean, but what I appreciated most was how careful he was with my sensitive teeth, ensuring I didn't feel any discomfort at all. He took the time to answer all my questions and gave me brilliant, tailored advice. It was an absolute pleasure to see them, and they did a fantastic job! 👌🏽😁

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’d like to thank Lindsey for my very much needed new crown. As a very nervous patient, the thought of having a crown fitted caused me a lot of anxiety. However, I can honestly say the whole experience was completely pain-free. Lindsey’s patience, professionalism, and reassurance made everything so much easier, and I now feel confident about walking back into the surgery without fear. Thank you again for such excellent care.
