Dental hygiene appointments are very important as regular professional cleaning (combined with good home-care) is the best way to keep your mouth clean and healthy. They will help maintain the condition of your teeth, improve the appearance of your smile and give you fresh breath.
Hygienists are specially trained to work in tandem with dentists to maximise the oral health of patients. They play an extremely important role within the practice and are mainly concerned with gum health, advising patients on correct daily care and keeping the mouth clean and healthy.
During your appointment the hygienist will give your teeth a thorough, professional clean. This process is called a scale and polish.
You will also be shown the best way to keep your teeth free of plaque in future. This combination of deep cleaning in the surgery and teaching how to prevent future build-ups at home, will go a long way to slowing the potential progress of gum disease.
The hygienist will also give you advice on diet and how this can help prevent dental decay. Regular visits and advice will help build your confidence in maintaining your oral health and achieving a healthy mouth.
If you have particular dental needs then the hygienist can work with your dentist to provide care tailored to your needs.
It is generally recommended to have a dental hygiene appointment every 6 months. This helps to maintain optimal oral health by removing plaque, tartar, and preventing gum disease. However, depending on your oral health needs, such as if you have a history of gum disease or build-up of tartar, your dentist or hygienist might suggest more frequent visits, like every 3 to 4 months. Regular check-ups ensure that any potential issues are caught early, helping you maintain a healthy smile.
Dental hygiene treatment is usually pain-free for most people. The process involves professional cleaning of your teeth, including removing plaque and tartar build-up. You might feel slight discomfort or sensitivity, especially if your gums are inflamed or you have sensitive teeth. However, your dental hygienist can adjust their technique to minimize any discomfort and apply a numbing gel if needed to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment. If you’re worried about pain, it’s always best to discuss your concerns with your hygienist before the procedure begins.
Yes, dental hygiene treatment can remove surface stains from your teeth. During the cleaning, your dental hygienist will use special tools to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains caused by food, drinks like coffee and tea, and smoking. The polishing step of the treatment can help make your teeth appear brighter and smoother. However, for deeper or intrinsic stains (those that are inside the tooth), a professional teeth whitening treatment may be recommended for more noticeable results. Your hygienist can advise you on the best option based on your needs.
Yes, a dental hygienist can often detect early signs of dental issues during your appointment. Our hygienists are trained to spot signs of gum disease, cavities, oral infections, and other conditions like oral cancer or tooth decay. If they notice any potential concerns, they will recommend a follow-up with your dentist for a more detailed examination and appropriate treatment. Regular hygiene visits help in catching problems early, which can prevent more serious dental issues from developing.
I genuinely cannot recommend this practice enough. I am a very anxious patient and would never go anywhere else.All staff are so welcoming, from the lovely people on the front desk, to the dentist, hygienist and support staff. Thank you!
I was initially quite nervous but Eloise and Dal were so kind, friendly and understanding I soon felt at ease. The experience wasn't as bad as I expected. Highly recommend 😀….
