Enhancing Your Dental Practice

 

 

We all recognise some patients who present for treatment will need more than a ‘scale & polish’ to stabilise their periodontal disease and return the tissues to health and preserve teeth for life. You may feel that you have the skills that provide adequate treatment but that is just insufficient for some disease problems.

You may or may not already have a Dental Hygienist in the practice, either way, if their time is fully committed, an alternative referral for some specific patients may be a considered opinion.

Referral to a private Specialist Periodontal practice may at present be preferred as the premium choice, but can be out of the financial reach of a number of patients. Dentists are also aware that the Dental Hospitals are over burdened with long waiting lists.

We at MIDHS are in a position to offer time, a sense of urgency, and skills to control much of the disease processes caused by plaque at a cost based on providing the standard of care that these patients need and you feel is as it should be. The benefit will be a return to health and maintenance of healthy supporting tissues around the susceptible patient’s teeth.

Now You Have Another Option!

MIDHS (Maggie Jackson’s Independent Dental Hygiene Service) accepts referrals, on your prescription, for non-surgical periodontal treatment. Our service works hand in hand with your practice allowing us to work directly with you to offer an alternative option to improve patient oral health. We even offer CPD in perio alongside for your hygienist if required.

Our Therapy

Therapy is provided by Dental Hygienist, Maggie Jackson MPhil RDH Dip DHE FAETC, and her team of hygienists who have combined experience of some 50 years of working in specialist periodontal practices (CVs available).

MIDHS Hygienists carry out your prescribed solutions to periodontal problems to complement the care already provided by your dental practice. Your prescription may include oral hygiene, motivation and guidance, periodontal charting, thorough debridement of tooth surfaces with root surface instrumentation in periodontal pockets (this may take one or several visits) as well as follow-up and re-charting after therapy.

Because MIDHS works without a dentist or periodontal specialist in attendance, patients remain under your dental care and prescription. You prescribe the therapy needed, but we will be available to confer on treatment options. Click here to use our printable dentist referral form.
At no time will we operate beyond our entitlement, qualification and experience.

Service for You and Your Patient

Written communication between dentist and MIDHS is ongoing. Your patient remains under your care throughout the therapy at the end of which, you receive copies of treatment records, charts and periodontal health status as well as the return of any X-Rays.

We can continue support in the form of maintenance reviews for your patient, at your discretion. Where periodontal diseases are advanced to the point where we feel we cannot help the patient further, we will of course advise you so you can refer on to a Specialist or treat the patient accordingly.

We accept referrals for Dental Hygienist Therapies but do not claim to be a ‘Specialist Periodontal Practice’.

MIDHS have found that based on many years’ experience we can often motivate and make improvements in the patient’s mouth and oral hygiene from their first visit.
