Dental care plan
Why do we need a preventative programme?
- Tooth decay is the most common preventable disease
- To prevent it requires a commitment of time and effort
- With the correct habits, there is no reason why you should not keep your teeth healthy for life
- Wrong habits developed at an early age can be extremely difficult to change
- We need to be able to give you more time for preventative care
How do I join?
Joining the plan is simple. All you need do is have your parents complete a Direct Debit Mandate in favour of DPAS, who handle the monthly collection on our behalf.
We will:
- Design a preventative programme you, for your particular needs
- Help you understand:
- Plaque
- The causes of decay
- The causes of gum disease - What part diet plays
- How to brush your teeth fully and how to clean the parts you be missing
- Talk about your diet and encourage good habits and advise where necessary
- Talk about the things you like to eat and how to eat them!
What do I do if I want to leave the plan?
If you find that you want to end the arrangement, you can do so simply by giving us one month's notice. Naturally, if the amounts due are not paid for two months in a row, we would presume you wished to the arrangement.
