Oral Hygiene
Keeping Your Teeth And Gums Healthy
Everyone should make regular visits to the hygienist, together with brushing and flossing, its one of the best ways to avoid gum disease. The three major causes of tooth loss in the UK are gum disease, tooth decay and toothbrush abrasion. These are all preventable, providing you have the necessary support. This vital and essential aspect of our dental practice philosophy is provided by our hygienist.
75% of all teeth still lost today are as a result of gum disease – a disease that is totally preventable.
As well as removing the causative factors associated with gum disease (plaque, calculus etc.), our hygienist can formulate an individual cleaning regime tailored to each person to meet your specific needs. That way, you can be sure that your oral hygiene regime minimises your risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
To help with our objectives, we stock an extensive range of oral healthcare products recommended by our hygienist – all at extremely competitive prices and many of which are difficult to find in supermarkets. Certain complimentary oral hygiene products are provided in conjunction with hygienist appointments in order to encourage their use.
The hygienists can spot any potential problems, take x-rays and pass information on to our dentists who will then provide treatment.
