Prevention

L & H has been a prevention orientated  practice since the 1970s. Mr. Barnard, Mr. Lambert and Dr Hunter worked to develop a prevention based dental practice in line with Scandinavian and American models. It was a revolutionary concept in the UK and especially in Scotland where the norm was extraction and dentures. The hygienist was central to this concept.

The patients benefited from regular professional cleaning and oral hygiene advice. People started to keep their teeth. This not only improved their dental health, but also their general health and their quality of life. Now all our patients have regular hygienist time incorporated into their care. The practice now has 3 full time hygienist chairs servicing 6 dental surgeries.
