EW's Chrissie visited Dr Michael's newest dentist - Dental Hygienist Alessandro Cerioli Amadei 

Most dental clinics feel all too sterile for me, when I arrived at this haven I couldn’t believe my eyes – bright and airy, lots of greenery, fishes happily swimming around in their fish tank, comfortable seating with lots of cushions, tea and coffee making facilities and the beautiful gardens resembling serenity with water features and play areas for children. Where’s this place?

 

AlessandroI found Dr Michaels Dental Clinic after doing a little bit of research on the internet and sounding out my friends. I felt it was about time, being fairly new to Dubai, that I found a new dentist. I called up to make my appointment for a check-up with a hygienist, the lovely receptionist recommended Alessandro Cerioli Amadei – their newest recruit. Hailing from Italy and specialises in all aspects of dental hygiene and gum disease treatment.

I was asked to attend their clinic on Al Wasl Road which was really easy to find and there was plenty of parking. When I walked into the surgery it felt very homely, fresh, clean and very relaxing. A lot of thought has been given to the layout and décor. I’d already cleaned my teeth before I arrived yet small touches like a tube of toothpaste in the wash rooms were a gentle reminder that you’re at the dentist and it just made me smile.

Alessandro welcomed me and showed me into his treatment room. After a quick chat about my dental history and any current issues I sat back into the ergonomic dental chair… which happens to be super plush and very comfortable, so comfortable I wanted to go to sleep especially after a long day at the office. He set about checking my teeth, taking a few photos to put up on the screen in front of us before proceeding to show me the plaque build-up and areas of concern for me. Fortunately my teeth aren't too bad however lack of flossing is starting to cause me issues - read more on the correct way to floss here >>

I was taken aback with the modern equipment Alessandro is using, everything fitted conveniently within easy reach for the dentist, the Ultrasonic Scaler machine with its clever digital display and smart looking tools ready for action off to one side, putting me instantly at ease knowing I'm going to get great service with such professional tools. I also spotted the Philips Zoom teeth whitening machine which got me thinking about having my teeth whitened, making a mental note to ask about after the treatment!

If you’re like me you'll dread a trip to the hygienist... what will the dentist pull you up on for not doing this time and of course there's the horrible pain whilst your gums bleed out. You’ll not find that at Dr Michael’s because they’re using this ultrasonic scaler, a power driven and virtually pain free way to gently de-scale the teeth. The machine creates gentle shockwaves that disrupt bacterial cells, or using turbulence to disrupt biofims, and irrigation, the therapeutic washing and flushing of the periodontal pocket and root surface with cooling water is what makes this treatment feel much less painful compared to traditional methods of de-scaling.

Alessandro scaled each tooth meticulously, I felt virtually no pain when comparing it to the same treatment I'd had done previously at another dentist. Following the ultrasonic scale came some additional grafting of the fine front teeth because mine are so close together, a tool with a much smaller tip was used to scale them, this was a little uncomfortable – think scratching a chalkboard eek! However it is totally worth it to feel the difference afterward. Ultimately in-between the teeth is where bacteria lives and is what causes most of our common dental problems such as bleeding gums, gum disease, tooth decay etc. unfortunately it turns out because I've not been taking as much care of my teeth as I should have I've had an onset of gingivitis. Lucky for me, Alessandro spotted this and paid extra attention to those affected teeth and gave them a really good clean.

Following the scaling came the flossing, none of my dentists have ever flossed my teeth for me. At this point I could start to feel the amazing difference Alessandro had made to my teeth. Finally as he pointed out to me on the screen in front I now have gaps back between my teeth and I can see exactly what I should be doing with the floss. I was absolutely amazed at how clean my teeth and gums now were!

Along came the teeth polishing which felt so good, each and every tooth beautifully polished, both sides. Afterwards they were super smooth and felt uber clean.

Never before have I experienced such attention to detail from a dentist, for me - just because my teeth are okay it doesn't mean they don't need special attention once in a while. I felt Alessandro gave my teeth that little extra care which hopefully means (with my help flossing) that they'll stay healthier for longer. It's recommended every six months to visit the hygienist and seeing the difference in service offered at Dr Michaels I'll definitely be returning for my next 6 monther!

Remember it’s important to see the hygienist at least once every 6 months as part of your dental healthcare routine, if you’re behind in your check-ups, get yourself booked into to see Alessandro, dental check up with cleaning from Dhs550. Deep cleaning Dhs650 and children from Dhs350.
