Visit the Dental Hygienist
Our dental hygienists are available to advise you about your oral hygiene and check for any potential problems such as tooth decay & gum disease. Your teeth will also benefit from having a good clean.
The benefits of visiting the Dental Hygienist
Our dental hygienists are specially trained in the prevention and treatment of gum (periodontal) disease - the main cause of adult tooth loss. They can also provide you with advice on all aspects of your oral health and help you with common issues such as:
- Advice on the best aid to clean between teeth.
- Demonstrate effective tooth brushing technique to remove plaque without causing tooth wear and receding gums.
- Discuss secondary factors that cause periodontal disease, for example smoking and diabetes.
- Discuss how periodontal disease could affect or complicate other health problems, for example heart disease.
- Advice on your diet and how to reduce sugary and acidic food and drink.
- Removal of plaque and hard deposits (calculus or tartar)
The results of good oral hygiene
By following our hygienist's advice, your teeth will look and feel much better.
- removal of teeth stains caused by food and drink
- Help to treat red and inflamed gums
- Stop gums from bleeding when brushing
- Prevent teeth from becoming mobile and drifting
- Prevent unpleasant tastes and bad breath by the damaging bacteria in the mouth
Treating sensitive teeth
The effects of gum disease can lower the gumline. This will in turn expose the dentine of the root which contains the tubules leading directly to the nerve.
Hot, cold & sometimes sweet foods can cause pain.
A special paste is available that can be applied to provide some relief from this condition
