Dental Hygiene

Regular visits to a hygienist are the best way to help maintain good foundations for your teeth.

At your hygiene appointments with Christina, Tiera, Mel or Katie, our aim is to remove any build-up of plaque and tartar above and below the gum line (this may take more than one visit) so that the growth of harmful bacteria that causes gum disease can be eliminated. Tartar cannot be removed by brushing alone.

The frequency of attendance with our hygienists is based on your personal oral health assessment. In general, the better care you take in cleaning your teeth and gums, the less often you will need to visit the hygienist, but typically, most people benefit from having this treatment every six months.

The most important aspect of your appointment will be the advice our team gives you on the best way to maintain your teeth and gums at home. In this way, you will be able to make your mouth healthier and feel fresher on a daily basis.
