Why you should book a dental hygienist appointment?

Prevention Is Better Than Cure

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.

Expert Advice

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.

That Sparkle

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.

Ask Our Team About AirFlow® Stain Removal

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.

Patient feedback

What to expect for your dental hygienist appointment

We appreciate that some patients like to know exactly what will happen at each stage of their dental hygiene treatment. But feel free to ask any questions at any time if you would like us to clarify or elaborate on any aspect of the procedure or aftercare

  1. Step 1

    Warm Welcome and Registration

This step ensures your details are up to date and prepares you for your appointment. If you are an existing patient this process will move faster.

  2. Step 2

    Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment

     

    The dental hygienist will conduct thorough dental examinations of your teeth and gum health, assessing your oral health and identifying any specific issues or areas of concern that may help us detect early signs of periodontal disease (Gum Disease) and tooth decay. This step also helps tailor the treatment to your unique needs.

  3. Step 3

    Professional Cleaning and Polishing

     

    Our experienced dental hygienist will perform a deep cleaning to remove tartar and plaque buildup, including areas that are hard to reach with regular brushing and flossing. Depending on what you choose, this will either be a traditional scale and polish or our specialist Air Flow Polishing treatment. Following the cleaning, your teeth will be polished to remove surface stains and leave them feeling smooth and clean.

  4. Step 4

    Personalised Oral Care Guidance

     

    After the treatment, you’ll receive customised dental care advice from an oral hygienist based on your specific oral health needs. This guidance will include tips on brushing and flossing techniques, product recommendations, and how to maintain optimal oral health at home, ensuring long-lasting results and a healthier smile.

Daily Dental Hygiene Habits

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:

Hygiene_brush

Brush Morning and Night

  • 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.

Hygiene_no_floss

Don't Forget to Floss

  • 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.

Hygiene_mouthwash

Rinse With Mouthwash

  • 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.
