The hygienist’s main job is to help prevent and treat gum disease. This includes professionally cleaning your teeth by removing plaque and tartar (soft and hard plaque), particularly from important areas that are difficult to reach by brushing alone.
However, perhaps their most important role is showing you the best way to keep your teeth free of plaque. The hygienist will work with your dental team to give you the care that is tailored to your needs.
One of the most pleasant aspects of visiting our hygienist is receiving a clean and polish using the latest equipment and a very gentle technique. After the treatment your mouth will feel fresher and your teeth will look brighter.
You can book in with the hygienist at any time; just speak with your dentist or ask at reception for further details.
Along with the dentist, our hygienist will provide oral hygiene advice including dietary advice, home mouth care, the use of fluoride and all the latest gadgets which will help maintain your oral health.
Hygienists are specifically trained in maintaining and improving the health of your gums. Most people need to see the hygienist two or three times a year. This will ensure that the gums remain as healthy and strong as possible. Sometimes, for more advance cases of gum disease, careful treatment planning is necessary, which may involve a course of several longer visits. At these visits, our hygienist will gently and thoroughly clean the diseased areas of the mouth that cannot be reached easily.
Our hygiene services include cleaning, scaling and polishing. For a happy, healthy mouth, your hygienist can remove stains, tartar, hard deposits and plaque. We'll also advise you on the best way to take care of your teeth at home, including correct flossing and brushing techniques and other oral hygiene techniques according to your personal requirements.
