Dental Hygiene
Dental hygiene treatment includes professionally cleaning the teeth for the patient. This is usually called scaling and polishing. However, perhaps our most important role is showing the patient the best way to keep the teeth free of plaque.
To maintain dental health of the mouth is it necessary to have your teeth and gums regularly cleaned. Periodontal or Gum disease can cause bleeding gums and bad breath which can be both unpleasant and embarrassing. This could also lead to the loss of teeth. Your Dentist and Hygienist will work together to create a personalised treatment plan to find the best cleaning for you. Part of the hygiene treatment includes advice on how to clean and look after the teeth and gums, as well as providing dietary advice, sugar analysis and demonstrations on the many dental products available such as Floss, Tepes and Interdental Brushes, to achieve and maintain good oral health.
