Why visit a Hygienist?
Surprisingly more teeth are lost due to gum disease than tooth decay. Regular visits to the hygienist will help to improve dental health and prevent periodontal (gum) disease, bleeding gums and dental decay (caries). Diet advice, fluoride application, fissure sealants and oral hygiene instruction are all part of our programme of prevention. Our hygiene surgeries are fitted with the very latest equipment including air polishing machines which gently remove unsightly staining without damaging your teeth.
Our hygienists
Our fully qualified hygienist will clean and polish your teeth and provide advice on how to care for your teeth and gums on a routine day-to-day basis, giving advice on tooth brushing and flossing in addition to dietary or anti smoking cessation.
Fresh breath clinics
Approximately half the population have a problem with mouth odour – a problem that can be reduced with regular visits to our hygienists
Halitosis, gingivitis and bad breath are serious problems that can affect many people and ruin their self-esteem and social and professional life. Bad breath comes second only to body odour as a concern people have about themselves and others.
Contrary to popular belief, breath odour is rarely influenced by what is happening in the stomach and is infrequently related to medical problems. The simple fact is the overwhelming cause of bad breath is what is happening in the mouth. Regular visits to our hygienist can help eliminate the causes of mouth odour.
