Our hygienist plays a crucial role in your dental health and is always happy to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy and clean. By visiting our hygienist every three to six months, you can stay one step ahead of decay and bacterial build up.
With more adult teeth being lost through gum disease rather than tooth decay, regular hygiene treatment is important to help keep your teeth and gums in a healthy condition.
Our skilled dental hygienist offers professional teeth cleaning services during a treatment known as a scale and polish.
It is common to get build ups of calculus (tartar) around your teeth which you will not be able to remove at home. This build up can lead to gum disease. A hygienist can clean this off with special instruments and give you advice on how to decrease the rate of this build up.
Research shows that it is recommended that you use an electric toothbrush with a pressure sensor indicator and changing the toothbrush heads every 3 months. Electric toothbrushes are more effective at plaque removal and gum health maintenance than battery operated and manual toothbrushes
No! Brushing your teeth with a toothbrush and toothpaste will manually remove plaque and bacteria from your teeth to reduce the chances of dental decay and gum disease. Mouthwash does not do this!
A fluoride containing mouthwash can benefit you if used after a meal because it gives you an application of fluoride and neutralises the acids caused from bacteria and food. You should not rinse your mouth with water or mouth rinse after brushing your teeth as you are just rinsing off the high fluoride amount in toothpaste which has a topical benefit.
Yes! An appropriate level of fluoride is important and will increase your resistance to dental decay.
Heavily coloured foods and drinks, like tea, coffee, red wine, curry, turmeric etc. Smoking is a big no no!
