Hygienist Services

When it comes to maintaining excellent oral health, a dental hygienist plays a pivotal role. Regular visits to a dental hygienist for scale and polish and periodontal treatment of gum disease are essential steps in safeguarding the health of your gums and overall dental well-being.

1. Expertise in Gum Health: Our dental hygienists are specially trained in assessing and treating gum-related issues. They possess in-depth knowledge of periodontal health and can detect the early signs of gum disease that might otherwise go unnoticed. Their expertise allows for timely intervention and prevents the progression of gum disease, protecting your gums and teeth from potential damage.
2. Thorough Removal of Plaque and Tartar: Despite our best efforts with regular brushing and flossing, plaque can still accumulate in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. Our hygienists use specialised tools and techniques to perform a thorough scale and polish, effectively removing plaque and tartar buildup.
3. Personalised Gum Disease Treatment: If gum disease is present, our dental hygienists can tailor periodontal treatments to address the severity of the condition. From mild gingivitis to advanced periodontitis, they will create a personalised treatment plan to alleviate gum inflammation, control infection, and promote healing. Regular follow-up appointments allows us to monitor progress and adjust treatments as necessary.
4. Education and Prevention: Seeing a dental hygienist offers an opportunity for patients to receive valuable education on oral hygiene practices. Prevention is always better than cure.
5. Comfortable and Safe Procedures: We will provide our hygienists services in a gentle and caring manner. We will prioritise patient comfort throughout.
6. Long-term Savings: Investing in preventive dental care through regular visits to a dental hygienist can lead to substantial long-term savings. By addressing gum issues early on, patients can avoid the need for more complex and costly treatments that may arise from neglecting gum health.
