Professional teeth cleaning with our highly trained and experienced hygienistWe understand how important your smile is and the effect a brighter, whiter smile can have on your life.
Two of the main issues that a hygienist addresses are tooth decay and gum disease. Despite them being relatively easy to manage through good oral hygiene, they are two of the leading causes of tooth loss. Addressing these issues consistently, and coming up with a maintenance plan, can provide good oral health into your later life.
Teeth are constantly exposed to a build-up of materials throughout the day. This build-up forms on the teeth as plaque, a substance which not only harbours bacteria, but also produces acid which can erode the teeth’s outer enamel layer.
The bacteria in your mouth is not a risk to your teeth when it is kept at low levels,but not brushing and flossing your teeth regularly means these levels can become damaging. There is also a link between increased oral bacteria and other serious health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.
Maintaining your oral health will help to look after your teeth, but over time build up of plaque and tartar can occur in those hard to reach areas. Our hygienist will remove this build up and focus on identifying and treating any gum disease. This preventative care could save your teeth later in life.

What is done in a hygienist session?
Your hygienist will talk to you about your oral health history and carefully examine your mouth checking for signs of gum disease and mouth cancer. They will check for signs of decay and any other dental problems. The next step is to scale and polish your teeth, this will remove any plaque and tartar, especially in those hard to reach areas. They will then use Airflow polishing to remove stains and debris on the tooth surface. Once physical treatment has finished they will discuss any concerns or further treatment plans that may be needed, as well as advice on how to maintain your oral health.

The preventative treatment that could save your smile
Why visit a hygienist?
There are three things we highly recommend to ensure you maintain healthy teeth. Firstly your own oral hygiene, regular brushing and flossing. Secondly, visiting your dentist twice a year for a check-up. And, last but not least, visits to a hygienist for an extra extensive clean. If you choose not to see a hygienist you are at risk of severe build up of plaque that can cause gum disease. Hygienist treatment offers preventative measures to ensure the long-lasting health of your teeth and gums.

FAQs
A clean and healthy mouth improves the appearance of your teeth and freshens your breath. Good cleaning significantly reduces the risk of needing treatments such as fillings, gum recession, and teeth drifting. Gum disease has also been linked to heart disease.

Yes, although it’s advised you avoid food and drink that can stain your teeth within the first couple of hours, such as tea, coffee, beetroot.
You will need a hygienist prescription from your dentist to book an appointment. Speak to your dentist first if you feel you need to see the hygienist.
Usually not. The hygienist appointment is usually longer to allow time for thorough cleaning.
