Dental Hygiene

​

Good dental hygiene means you brush your teeth at least twice a day, and you clean in-between the teeth with dental floss or interdental brushes at least once per day.

​

An essential component of dental hygiene is ensuring you see your dentist at your recommended recall frequency for a dental check-up, and you have regular professional cleanings. As we treat every patient as an individual, we tailor your dental and hygiene recalls to reflect your individual oral health needs.

Appointments

​

Direct Access Hygiene Appointments are available at our practice. Contact us for more information.

​

Dental hygiene treatment is delivered by a specially trained dental hygienist who will help to remove any hard-to-reach plaque from your teeth that may have built up over time.

 

Here is what you can expect from a hygiene appointment: 

​

  1. Your teeth and gums will be assessed to determine the amount of plaque removal you will need and risk factors will be highlighted.

  2. Your teeth will be professionally cleaned with special equipment and pastes. This process is also known as scaling and polishing. 

  3. The hygienist’s role is to show you how to look after your teeth so that they remain free from plaque in the future. You will be advised on the best tooth brushing technique and given tips on flossing and using interdental brushes. 

​

Dental hygiene at our practice also functions preventatively to treat gum disease and bad breath. If you have a bridge, denture, orthodontic treatment or a dental implant you will have specific hygiene needs that the hygienist will be able to assist you with. 

​

It is recommended that you come in for regular hygiene appointments to ensure your mouth stays clean and healthy.

EMS Airflow

​

Hygiene appointments will never be the same again.  We are pleased to offer a game-changing new cleaning treatment called EMS Airflow.

​

EMS Airflow can remove up to 100% of the harmful plaque (biofilm) from your teeth and gums painlessly using this new Swiss-made technology.

​

We begin by disclosing the almost invisible biofilm on your teeth allowing our hygienists to identify the areas you are missing with your usual brushing technique. This is followed by removal of the biofilm and hard plaque (calculus) from your teeth and gum pockets gently and thoroughly using a variety of special cleaning heads, warm water, air and a flavoured powder.

​

EMS Airflow, teeth cleaning treatment will remove stains on your teeth, giving you a brighter and healthier smile that feels cleaner than ever before.
