Good oral hygiene is the best way to prevent plaque buildup and severe gum disease. All else being equal, patients who have regular hygiene appointments need fewer fillings.
Patients frequently remark on their dental hygiene experience with us, they leave with that lovely clean feeling and fresh breath following an appointment with our friendly dental hygienists.
Our dental hygienist will teach you improved techniques in brushing and flossing. Interdental cleaning may be a new addition to your home teeth cleaning routine (e.g. if you have newly fitted implants) – we’re on hand to offer guidance.
Habits such as consumption of coffee, wine and tobacco, or even eating certain foodstuffs that are otherwise good for you (looking at you, turmeric!), can cause staining of the tooth enamel. Happily, these stains can be effectively removed by twice daily brushing at home and regular hygiene appointments supported by good dental hygienists.
When it comes to dental hygiene treatments, using the most advanced equipment gets the best results with a high treatment success rate. Our hygienists use AirFlow® – a cleaning technique that directs a jet of compressed air, water and bicarbonate of soda onto the stained tooth. The gentle process removes stains without damaging tooth enamel – leaving you with a bright, healthy smile.

Establishing daily dental hygiene habits is crucial for keeping your teeth and gums healthy, preventing cavities, and ensuring fresh breath and a bright smile. These habits also help prevent underlying disease and so you can keep on top of your dental care. Here’s what you should do:
Brushing your teeth and gums morning and night is crucial for maintaining good oral health.
It removes plaque from plaque retentive sites and bacteria that accumulate throughout the day and night, helping to prevent cavities, gum disease and any related dental disease.
Using an electric toothbrush with fluoride toothpaste can enhance this routine, as it offers more efficient cleaning and strengthening of enamel, the oscillating and rotating bristles can better reach all areas of your mouth.
Flossing daily is crucial for keeping teeth clean and gum disease at bay, because it removes plaque and food particles from areas your toothbrush can’t reach, such as between your teeth and along the gum line.
This practice helps prevent gum disease and cavities by disrupting the build-up of harmful bacteria. This ensures a more thorough clean, reduces the risk of dental problems, and promotes fresher breath.
Consistent flossing complements brushing, contributing to healthier oral hygiene.
After brushing and flossing, choose an antibacterial mouthwash to help kill germs that brushing might miss, and freshen your breath.
Pour the recommended amount, and swish it around in your mouth for about 30 seconds, making sure to cover all areas, including between your teeth and along the gum line.
Spit it out, and avoid rinsing with water afterwards to allow the mouthwash to continue working. This final step helps ensure a thorough clean and long-lasting freshness.

A regular dental appointment with a dental hygienist can help prevent tooth rot. A Dental hygiene appointment can help reduce plaque and tartar and prevent gum disease. This will reduce your likelihood of needing any expensive future treatments.
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that surround and support your teeth. It is usually caused by poor oral hygiene, which leads to plaque buildup on the teeth. Gum disease can range from mild gingivitis, which causes gums to become red, swollen, and bleed easily, to more severe periodontitis, where the gums pull away from the teeth, leading to bone and tooth loss. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups with a dental hygienist are essential in preventing and managing gum disease.
Having a regular dental hygiene treatment will help remove plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas, eliminating rough surfaces that can harbour bacteria and improving the health of your teeth and gums. Dental Hygienists also play a role in maintaining, brightening and whitening teeth.
