Visiting a Dental Hygienist
Visiting a dental hygienist is an important part of keeping your teeth and gums healthy long term. Studies show that people who visit the hygienist are much less likely to lose their teeth from gum disease and tooth decay than those that don't.
During your routine examination at the practice, your dentist will be able to confirm if you have gum disease and may advise you to see our hygienist.
Gum Disease also known as Periodontal Disease is an entirely preventable disease and has become increasingly common in adults.
Its treatment will include regular visits to the dental hygienist for the removal of tartar/calculus that build up along the teeth and working with you to help improve and maintain your dental health.
The frequency and intervals of appointments will be discussed with you based on your needs.
Making an appointment with our dental hygienist is easy, simply ask our reception team to make an appointment with our hygienist and they will find a time and date that suits you best.
If you have excessive staining on your teeth, recently had a brace removed or a special occasion coming up, why not treat yourself to hygienist session to brighten and freshen your smile with a air polishing appointment!
