Above all, Anna wants to show her patients that visiting the dentist doesn’t have to be an unpleasant experience. By taking the time to communicate clearly, listen to concerns and build trust, she hopes to make every patient’s dental experience a positive one.

Tips for a Healthy Smile

Floss every night. It’s one of the simplest things you can do to look after your teeth and gums.
Use an electric toothbrush. Let the toothbrush do the work for you and focus on guiding it gently around your teeth.
Come in for your regular cleans. Six-monthly dental visits are a great way to stay on top of your oral health and catch and treat small issues before they become bigger problems.
Stay away from sugary drinks. When it comes to your teeth, water is always the best choice
