Oral Health Therapist (OHT)

Often the unsung heroes in dental practices, these professionals play a crucial role in maintaining oral health and enhancing the overall dental care experience. 

OHTs are at the forefront of preventative care, emphasing the importance of maintaining optimal oral health.

They identify potential issues before they worsen, allowing for timely intervention and reducing the risk of more serious conditions. OHTs are trained to diagnose and treat gum disease (periodontal disease) and can educate patients on how to improve and maintain their oral health.

Here at Nelson Dental Centre we are proud to have Olivia Partridge and Indi Alsop serving our patients oral hygiene needs. Olivia and Indi collaborate with our dentists to provide comprehensive care, ensuring that patients receive the best possible treatment. 

If you have not seen a OHT before, up to date radiographs are required. call us today.
