About Hygiene Appointments
Beautiful and bright teeth exude good health and confidence. Our dental hygiene team are here to keep your teeth sparkling and play a crucial role in preventative dental care for both adults and children. We recommend regular hygiene appointments to maintain a healthy smile for life.
Professional Dental Cleaning
Professional dental cleaning provides a meticulous clean of both the teeth and gums by removing plaque in difficult to reach areas. If plaque is not removed properly, it can harden to form calculus which cannot be removed at home. Persistent build-up can lead to periodontal disease, gum disease, decay and tooth loss. The hygienist will also polish the teeth which helps to remove stains and smooth the surface of the teeth which makes teeth shine. In addition to this, patients who have a lot of decay may benefit from having a fluoride varnish or anti-bacterial gel applied under the gum to kill bacteria that can cause periodontitis.
Hygiene Team
Our hygiene team will also provide oral hygiene, nutritional and lifestyle advice to help you improve your hygiene routine at home.
