Dental Hygienist
At your dental hygiene appointment our dental hygienist will clean and polish your teeth to get rid of any stains, but more importantly, they will also look over the state of your teeth and gums to see if any type of care is needed. For example, they will look at your gums and make sure there are no signs of your gums shrinking away from your teeth. This will in turn form a gum pocket. If this has happened then you will need to have extra care on this area to make sure that you are able to keep your teeth long term.
While dentists concentrate on treating tooth and gum conditions, the dental hygienist has a vital role in helping to prevent problems from arising, we generally advise 6 monthly appointments with our hygienist or possibly 3-4 monthly if you have more severe gum problems.
Dental hygiene involves teeth cleaning done by a professional dental hygienist.This is often referred to as polishing or scaling the teeth, having a regular clean of your teeth will provide great support to maintaining your overall good dental health.
Your dental hygienist plays an important role in your dental care, especially in teaching brushing and flossing techniques that most effectively remove plaque – the primary cause of gum disease.
