Dental Hygiene

Dental hygiene visits form a key part of any healthy adult’s oral health maintenance.

Not only do they help to keep your gum disease risk low, but hygiene appointments also leave you with stain-free teeth and fresh breath.

Introduction to dental hygienist visits

Treatment time: 25-50 minutes (depending on the amount of cleaning required).
Purpose: To clean away plaque and tartar from your gum line/to help patients avoid gum disease.
Results: Helps to preserve your natural teeth and keep your gums disease-free/reduces unpleasant symptoms associated with gum disease.

Equip yourself with the confidence to smile

Having the reassurance that you no longer have plaque and tartar lingering on your gum line can be incredibly helpful for your confidence. More importantly, though, removing these harmful substances will stop inflammation of your gums and subsequent bone deterioration.

The other threat arising from biofilm buildup on your gums is heart disease, which can occur once plaque and tartar enter the bloodstream. Our dentists are incredibly passionate about helping patients avoid this and providing support on how to become more conscientious with brushing and flossing in the future.

Vital education to benefit your oral health

Our hero dentists are also great communicators who can tell you where you might be going wrong with your diet and oral hygiene routine. Simple demos using brushes and dental floss can help to make all the difference to your technique, which will help you avoid problems like:

• Gum recession: When gums pull away from your teeth due to vigorous brushing style.
• Interdental plaque: When plaque forms between your teeth due to lack of flossing or poor flossing technique.
• Bleeding gums: This can occur due to a lack of flossing.
• Gum disease.
• Tooth decay: When all your tooth surfaces don’t receive a uniform clean.
