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.
