Oral Hygiene
Clean teeth and fresh breath are essential for general health and self confidence.
Our hygienist will assist you to achieve your goals, by offering specialist advice on diet, toothbrushing, mouthrinses and interdental cleaning.
We also offer a special power polish using a prophyjet machine to remove all those stubborn stains.
The majority of dental disease is caused by dental plaque, the sticky film of bacteria and protein matrix that constantly builds up on the surface of teeth and gums.
If plaque is not removed regularly, it combines with minerals in the saliva to form a hard scale called dental calculus. This provides a rough surface which is ideal for more plaque to attach to, and this can lead to gum disease and premature loss or loosening of the teeth.
The hygienist will gently remove these hard deposits from above and below the gumline, allowing the gums to heal and restoring dental health.
