Hygienist

Our patients are encouraged to see our hygienists at regular intervals which plays a vital role in achieving the objective of long-term dental health. Hygienists provide preventative care including oral hygiene instruction, dietary advice as well as scaling and polishing teeth. Combining regular hygienist appointments with your own home care is the best way to maintain a healthy mouth, keep your teeth strong and give you fresher breath.

Neglecting your gums can lead to poor gum health and the resulting gum disease is the major cause of tooth loss in adults. By teaching you how to prevent the build up of plaque and tartar on teeth you will be able to slow and may stop altogether the progress of gum disease. If gum disease is left unchecked it can lead to problems such as bleeding gums, infections, loose teeth and bad breath.

Our team of experienced hygienists are dedicated to both gently and sympathetically helping you achieve and maintain health gums for life.
