Hygienist Appointments

Regular visits to the hygienist are not just a clean and polish, they are the single best way to prevent expensive and painful dental health issues from occuring. Many People we treat for missing teeth, damaged teeth and toothache could have avoided those issues with regular hygienist sessions.

Why Is It Important To Regularly See Your Hygienist?

Contrary to belief, the hygienist will not just scrape and polish the teeth to make them look nice and clean. They will also work below the gum line where plaque and calculus can build up. As the build up is below the visible gum line you would not reach it with traditional brushing and flossing so it’s vital that you visit the hygienist every 6 months.

If ignored this buildup of plaque can lead to gum disease, redness, soreness, bad taste and bad smell. The long-term issues can be very extreme as pockets can emerge between the tooth and gums which can result in teeth becoming unstable and falling out.

Healthy Mouth

You will have healthy teeth and gums, even below the gumline where issues can often go unnnoticed.

Less Pain

Visiting the hygienist will help you to identify and prevent painful dental health problems from occuring at the source.

Save Money

If you treat the source of problems then theres less of a requirement for expensive corrective procedures further down the line.
