WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT our premium dental hygiene services
Protect and maintain your smile
If you want to maintain healthy teeth and gums, prevent dental problems, and maintain fresh breath, then our oral hygiene services are for you. They involve advice on simple but essential practices such as brushing and flossing your teeth daily, as well as regular check-ups, cleaning and polishing.
If you have braces or other teeth straightening appliances, it can be difficult to keep your teeth clean. Good oral hygiene practices can help prevent decay and gum disease during orthodontic treatment.
People with existing dental problems, such as cavities or gum disease, can benefit from good oral hygiene practices to prevent further damage and promote healing.
Book an appointment with our dedicated, highly experienced dental hygienist, who will be happy to help keep your teeth and gums in the best possible condition.
Your dental hygiene appointment
Regular oral hygiene appointments play a crucial role in maintaining dental health and preventing teeth issues before they escalate.
Gum disease and decay are the most common reasons for adult tooth extractions, both of which are largely preventable with good, regular oral care.
If the hygienist notices any potential problems then they will refer you to your dentist for further investigation.
During your appointment the hygienist will remove plaque or tartar build up that has formed along the gum line and between the teeth. They will then polish the teeth to remove surface stains.
For a deeper clean, we also offer the option of AirFlow, a treatment that will leave your teeth even cleaner and whiter.
Frequently asked questions
What is dental hygiene treatment?
Dental hygiene treatment involves a professional teeth cleaning service called scaling and polishing. During your appointment, the hygienist will perform an initial dental hygiene examination. They will then scale your teeth to remove plaque or tartar build-up in areas that brushing cannot reach.
Is dental hygiene treatment painful?
Dental hygienist treatment is generally not painful.
Some patients may experience mild discomfort during the scaling process, especially if there is significant plaque or tartar build-up. However, hygienists use gentle techniques and can apply a numbing gel if needed to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
If you have any concerns about pain, discuss them with your hygienist beforehand.
WHAT DOES A DENTAL HYGIENIST DO?
Whilst most patients will visit the hygienist for a scale and polish, there are several things you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy and look out for your overall health. Dental hygienists can undertake the following roles and procedures:
DENTAL CLEANING
Dental cleaning is the most common procedure conducted by the hygienist. The dental hygienist will use various techniques to remove stains, tartar, and plaque from teeth that can improve patient health.
DENTAL X-RAYS
Dental hygienists will take X-rays to detect various problems early, allowing them to treat accordingly and in a timely manner. Dental X-rays can detect cavities, oral infections and even tumours.
PREVENTATIVE CARE
When it comes to oral health, dental hygienists believe prevention is better than cure. After cleaning, dental hygienists make a point to educate patients on preventative oral care.
TEACH DENTAL HYGIENE BEST PRACTICE
A big part of a dental hygienist’s role is to educate patients on oral care. They will teach patients how to brush and floss in the correct manner and explain the reasons for doing so. They will also stress the link between diet and oral health and make recommendations on toothbrushes and other oral care products.
Why would I need to see a dental hygienist?
Seeing a dental hygienist is essential for maintaining optimal oral health. They provide professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing can’t reach.
Hygienists can detect early signs of gum disease and other issues, allowing for timely treatment. They also offer personalised advice on proper oral care techniques.
Regular visits to a dental hygienist contribute to better overall health, reducing the risk of conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
DO YOU HAVE TO SEE A DENTAL HYGIENIST REGULARLY?
Hygienists will advise on how often you should book appointments depending on your current state of oral health and risk of more serious conditions. This can range for a few weeks between appointments to annually.
