Good Oral Health requires good oral hygiene.
Our Dental Hygienists have 3 main roles
1. The treatment of periodontal disease and the preventable “gingivitis” which leads to early tooth loss. This is caused by plaque, the sticky film composed of harmful bacteria which adheres to teeth. If left untreated the gums swell, begin to bleed and the teeth will eventually loosen.
2. The removal of calculus (tartar) and staining from the teeth by the process of scaling and polishing.
3. The instruction of our patients in good oral hygiene techniques and dietary habits, vital to preserving Dental health.
Our Dental hygienists work under the prescription and instruction of our Dental surgeons so please speak to your Dentist to make an appointment.
