BEATRICE VAN DYK - Oral Hygienist

"A healthy body houses a healthy mind"

With 32 years of experience and qualifications in Oral Hygiene, Expanded Functions and Tertiary Education, Beatrice is passionate about educating her patients on the influence teeth have on overall health.

The highlight of Beatrice's day is when she can see improvement in a patient that has been following a dental health plan for a while.

Beatrice specialises in both practicing and educating her patients on preventative care, which is a lot cheaper in the long run.

3 DENTAL HYGIENE TIPS FROM BEATRICE

Chewing gum is not a replacement for good dental hygiene. Brush and floss correctly and regularly, and use a mouthwash containing fluoride.

Visit your dental team every six months. If you don't, you might need to visit us a lot more often in the future.

Maintain a healthy, balanced diet. Fizzy drinks, fruit juice and energy drinks are really bad for your teeth!
