Oral Hygiene

A good oral hygiene routine is the foundation of life long healthy teeth and gums and this is something we like to encourage. Regular three to six monthly visits with our hygienist will ensure that your teeth and gums are in good shape. Our hygienist is very proactive in educating patients in the correct techniques to use when brushing and flossing and also how to use interdental brushes for cleaning between teeth. We offer four main hygiene programs depending on your needs:

1. Modern Living – for those patients that see a hygienist on a regular basis, our expert hygienist provides a thorough scale and polish with tailored hygiene advice

2. Ideal Living – this is for the majority of patients that see a hygienist approximately every 6 months and require a deeper clean with more time spent on polishing your teeth. Our Denplan patients benefit from this level of care.

3. Deep Living – haven’t seen a hygienist in a while? Extensive plaque build up? Then you need the works: an extensive scale and polish session with stain removal to bring that sparkle back to your smile. This may also involve several visits with more advanced gum disease treatment.

4. Fresh Living – don’t let bad breath dent your living. Our hygienist uses a variety of modern techniques to analyse potential causes of bad breathe (halitosis). She will then provide you with a personalised hygiene plan and arrange treatment accordingly. This treatment may involve several sessions.
