A smile for life is possible when you regularly visit a dental
hygienist. Dental hygienists are a valuable member of the dental
team, they are specially trained to clean and maintain your teeth
both through their skill in surgery but also by teaching you how
to correctly clean your teeth and gums at home.
What
can a dental hygienist do for you?

you keep your teeth for life - with care on your part, this
is achievable.
- Help
to keep your teeth meticulously clean.
- Advise
you on your personal oral hygiene needs.
Preventive
care is an essential feature of our practice, helping to prevent
dental problems occurring means less treatment and cost for
our patients.
Gum Disease
The main cause of gum disease is poor oral hygiene, when techniques
used for brushing are not carried out effectively. Poor hygiene
allows plaque to build up along the gum line, it sticks to the
tooth surface and can inflame the gums, a condition called gingivitis.
Blood
on the toothbrush or dental floss is one of the earliest signs
of gingivitis. If you have any concerns please ask to see our
hygienist.
A
life long smile by preventing gum disease!
