Dental hygienists are experts in protecting your smile from bacteria and keeping your teeth and gums healthy. We are best placed to look after your oral health during your regular appointments, professionally cleaning away stubborn plaque and tartar to give your mouth a wonderfully fresh and clean feeling. Plaque gradually builds up each day, and can’t be completely removed with your brushing routine at home – hence why a trip to the hygienist is so important.
Regular appointments allow us to remove plaque and tartar before it can start to irritate your gums and develop into gum disease. Gum disease can cause bleeding, bad breath, and sore gums that begin to recede. It can also contribute to long-term problems, including tooth loss. The symptoms of gum disease can be mild, so we carry out a thorough check during your routine hygiene appointment to spot any symptoms and provide effective treatment if needed.
Consultation
At the start of your appointment, we warmly welcome you and make sure you are feeling comfortable in the chair. We ask you how your teeth and gums have been since your last visit, and if you have any concerns. We also check you are in good general health.
Examination
We examine your teeth and gums, checking for any signs of gum disease or other oral issues. We also make sure the soft tissues of your mouth are healthy, and look out for any early signs of oral cancer.
Bespoke treatment
The main part of your hygienist appointment is a professional deep clean. We use special techniques and tools to scale your teeth, removing build-ups of plaque and tartar from all areas of your mouth. This is followed by a professional polish, leaving your teeth looking and feeling fresh, bright and smooth.
Tips and advice
To finish your oral hygiene appointment, we give you some advice on how to best look after your teeth and gums at home. This can include brushing tips, including how to use interdental brushes if required. We also give you some diet and lifestyle advice to help you keep your oral health in the best condition.
Our highly trained and very friendly hygienists love getting to know their patients and helping them keep their teeth and gums healthy and bright. They both have a wealth of experience in their field, and enjoy supporting their patients with supportive and non-judgemental care. Book your appointment today!
