© Dr Victoria Hong Trinh & Dr Leonard Fabre

No dental treatment that a dentist provides for a patient will succeed in the short, medium or long term

unless the patient disrupts biofilm (mouth germs) daily (after evening preferred) in a thorough manner

Using a brush, floss or Pickster, optional water pik and the prescribed therapeutic toothpastes

(Optic White, Colgate Neutraflor 5000ppm, Curasept 705, 721, 350, Colgate Peroxyl mouthrinse as advised)

Oral Health Prescription … I will provide you a personalised oral health prescription

·     because your home care is an essential for achieving the best outcome for your future dental treatment

In preparation for treatment:

  • Please follow the Oral Health Prescription

  • Please let me know if there is still bleeding (gum disease)

  • I will help to you stabilise this first to ensure the best long-term results

During Treatment

  • Please continue with Oral Health Prescription

After Treatment

  • Please Continue with Oral Health Prescription … it’s forever

  • Attend review and Oral Health Care maintenance appointments as recommended

Long-term success depends on consistent home care and ongoing professional support
