Dental Hygiene
Dental hygiene treatment is delivered by a specially trained dental hygienist who will help to remove any hard-to-reach plaque from your teeth that may have built up over time.
Here is what you can expect from a hygiene appointment:
01
Your teeth and gums will be assessed to determine the amount of plaque removal you will need and risk factors will be highlighted.
03
The dentist's role is to show you how to look after your teeth so they remain free from in the future
02
Your teeth will be professionally cleaned with special equipment and pastes. This process is also know as scaling and polishing.
04
You will be advised on the best tooth-brushing techniques and given tips on flossing and using interdental brushes.
Dental hygiene at our practice also functions preventatively to treat gum disease and bad breath. If you have a bridge, denture, orthodontic treatment or a dental implant you will have specific hygiene needs that the hygienist will be able to assist you with.
It is recommended that you come in for regular hygiene appointments to ensure your mouth stays clean and healthy.
*Please note: any patients failing to attend or cancelling within 48 hours will incur a charge.*
