Hygiene Therapy
If you want to achieve and maintain a healthy mouth, an appointment with one of our dental hygienists is essential. Prevention is always better than cure and, thanks to the skills and expertise of your local dental hygienist, you can keep your teeth and gums feeling clean, bright and easier to maintain.
What does dental hygienist appointment involve?
The role of a dental hygienist is give you all of the information and tools to ensure that you can maintain your oral hygiene regimen.
During a typical appointment, they will start by professionally cleaning your teeth and removing any stubborn or difficult to reach plaque. This is called a ‘scale and polish’ and it will leave your mouth feeling refreshed and revitalised.
They will then share their expert knowledge, perhaps offering a few tips on how to properly care for your teeth and demonstrating how to remove plaque yourself. Your dental hygienist will also provide advice on general oral hygiene and they can recommend the best practices and products to keep your mouth feeling healthy in between dental appointments.
