Regular hygiene visits are essential to prevent disease, bad breath and maintaining the health of your gums and teeth. Our hygienist has a primary role
in helping educate you about the different techniques and ways to care for your teeth and gums.
Hygiene visits can spot the signs of gum disease early and prevent future treatment. Signs of gum disease include:
During Hygienist appointments, you will receive a professional teeth clean. Our hygienist will carefully remove plaque (dental biofilm) and calculus (tartar) from
the surface of your teeth and around the gum line. They will polish your teeth to remove surface staining and produce a shiny finish. Ensuring that your mouth is free from dental plaque and tartar is the best way to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
During your care you will be provided with both preventative advice and thorough assessment, as well as treatment and review of the health of your gums and any gum disease affecting them. A clean mouth combined with an effective home care routine means bacterial plaque is removed from around the teeth and gums, in turn this means fresher breath.
Preventing and treating gum disease is extremely important because keeping your natural teeth, and maintaining your restorations or dental implants, is one of our highest priorities. Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a serious condition and is one of the leading causes of tooth loss, however it is preventable with good oral hygiene. Once established gum disease is hard to reverse, but it can be stabilised with appropriate periodontal treatment.
Our Hygienists will work with you and personalise your home care routine to maximise your own efforts by ensuring you are using the correct type of toothbrush and interdental cleaning aids with the correct techniques specific to your needs. These comprehensive plans are made to deal with any existing issues and to formulate a maintenance regime to ensure long-term dental and gum health.
Our Hygienists can feedback any prevention advice regarding acid erosion (wearing away of the enamel surface of the teeth due to acids) or staining through analysing your diet and making suitable recommendations. A healthy diet free from frequent intake of sugar and acidic food and drink goes a long way to prevent cavities, tooth wear and keeping your teeth and gums healthy.
