Treatments
Professional cleaning and preventative care from our dental hygienist.
Oral hygiene simply means the cleanliness and health of your mouth, teeth and gums. It is vital for preventing gum disease and tooth decay as part of your overall health.
By professionally removing plaque and tartar from the teeth, and instructing how this can be maintained at home to prevent future build-up, the risks from tooth decay and gum disease are reduced considerably.
Beyond cleaning, the hygienist applies preventative materials, advises on diet and home care routines, and treats gum disease. They work closely alongside the rest of the dental team.
Treatments do not usually hurt. However, should you feel any discomfort, it is important to tell your hygienist, as they can apply numbing options.
Children can visit the hygienist for teeth polishing, fluoride application and dental sealants on permanent molars as preventative measures. Patients receive instruction on brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice daily and using interdental cleaning tools like floss or small brushes.
All treatments are subject to a clinical assessment and may not be suitable for everyone. Please speak to the dentist to discuss what is right for you.
Call the practice or send us a message and we will be in touch to arrange your visit.
