HYGIENIST
Our dental hygienists are fully qualified and registered as practising dental hygienists. They specialise in preventative education and periodontal (gum) treatment and maintenance.
If you have unhealthy gums you may notice one or more of the following:
- Blood or pus coming from your gums
- Gums looking red or spongy
- Experiencing loose or missing teeth
- Bad breath
- Receding gums
PREVENTATIVE CARE
Our hygienists put a strong emphasis on dental preventative education to reduce the likelihood of more extensive dental treatments in future years. At your dental hygiene visit our hygienists will discuss:
- Dental cleaning aids such as interproximal brushes, electric tooth brushes, soft bristled brushes, water flossers, and mouth washes.
- Dental cleaning techniques.
- Dietary advice.
- Tooth strengthening products if you are at risk of decay, erosion and wear.
MAINTAINING HEALTHY GUMS
Our hygienists will also treat any active gum disease and provide regular maintenance services to keep your gums healthy. Common procedures performed by our hygienists:
- Full mouth charting of the degree of gum disease to enable monitoring of your condition after treatment
- Treatment of gum inflammation and periodontal disease
- Teeth scaling and polishing
- Removal of surface staining
