Dental Hygiene
Your oral health is our priority! Our dental hygiene services are designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy, ensuring you have a bright and confident smile. Regular dental hygiene visits are essential for maintaining oral health and preventing issues like tooth decay and gum disease.
What is dental hygiene?
Dental hygiene is practice of keeping the mouth, teeth, and gums clean and healthy to prevent disease. This includes regular brushing and flossing at home, as well as professional cleanings and check-ups with a dental hygienist.
Our hygiene session includes
- Comprehensive cleanings: Our dental hygienists perform thorough cleanings to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth. This helps prevent cavities and keeps your smile bright.
- Gum health assessment: We evaluate the health of your gums to detect any signs of gum disease early. Healthy gums are crucial for overall oral health.
- Personalised advice: Based on your individual needs, we provide tailored advice on brushing techniques, flossing, and other aspects of oral care to help you maintain excellent dental hygiene at home.
- Preventative treatments: We offer fluoride treatments and dental sealants to protect your teeth from decay and strengthen your enamel.
Benefits of our hygiene services
- Prevention of tooth decay: Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar build-up that can lead to cavities.
- Gum disease prevention: Our thorough cleanings and check-ups help prevent gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
- Fresher breath: Professional cleanings help eliminate bad breath caused by bacteria in the mouth.
- Bright smile: Removal of surface stains and tartar results in a whiter, brighter smile.
- Early detection: Regular visits allow for the early detection of any potential oral health issues, ensuring prompt treatment.
Tips for maintaining good oral hygiene at home
- Brush twice daily: Use a fluoride toothpaste and brush your teeth for at least two minutes, morning and night.
- Floss daily: Flossing removes plaque and food particles between teeth that a toothbrush can’t reach.
- Use mouthwash: An antimicrobial mouthwash can help reduce plaque and keep your breath fresh.
- Eat a balanced diet: Limit sugary snacks and drinks. A healthy diet contributes to good oral health.
- Stay hydrated: Drinking water helps wash away food particles and bacteria, and keeps your mouth hydrated.
- Replace your toothbrush: Change your toothbrush every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed.
- Visit your dentist regularly: Schedule regular check-ups and cleanings to keep your teeth and gums in top condition.

What our patients say
As an extremely nervous patient with a fear of visiting dental practices I can wholeheartedly say that Vimal, my dentist and Caroline, my hygienist, are the most gentle, professional and kindest of people who make me feel totally at ease, everything is explained in full and treatment is second to none. An excellent dental practice who come highly recommended ⭐️
Excellent Dental Surgery, friendly staff and procedures always done In a professional and considerate manner.
Highly recommend this dental surgery and its staff, so kind and friendly. My dentist, Vimal Patel, recently removed my baby tooth and advised that I needed an implant. I was very dubious about having this, after seeing pictures on line of the procedure and worried how painful this may be.After several visits to see Vimal, to have moulds, pictures and an X-ray, I now have my implant. I'm so happy with the result. I experienced no pain whatsoever and with Vimal's professional dentistry, he kept me informed all the time of what was being done and the next steps.If anyone is considering an implant or in fact any dental work, I would recommend a visit to Vimal or one of his team as you can be certain you will be in good hands 👌
I have been attending Massetts Road Dental for many years. My Dentist is Vimmal. He has a calm soothing nature about him and always puts you at ease. He is very informative and will advise of the best treatment necessary. The overall practice I believe is a top practice managed well and keeps the patient (me) up to date for check ups and appointments etc. Thank you to all.
Dr. Nikhil Patel has been fantastic, after experiencing a cracked tooth he managed a very clean repair. The whole team takes pride in their work making the whole experience rather pleasant. Most of the Dental nurses spend some time on reception so have an in-depth understanding of your needs before even seeing a dentist. They are very friendly and approachable with a special shout out to Cristina. I would highly recommend you choose this practice for all your dental needs.
I have been a Customer/ patient of this dental practice for about 17 years. Every member of staff from the reception to the ‘chair ‘ are always polite , efficient and professional in every way.From both the dentist and hygienist I always have good advice about my teeth .Front reception staff always have time to talk and discuss appointments .Everyone always seems to have time for me the client. I have now moved 50 miles away, but will still retain this practice as my dentist.That says it all I think . Regards Alison Massie
All of the staff are so lovely and caring and I have never had a negative appointment with them. They look after their clients so well and always explain what the treatment plan is and what to expect. I would not want to be with any other practise. It is such a welcoming place and they put you at ease and so you know your in safe hands.
