Dental Hygiene
Your dental hygiene is an important aspect of preserving your dental health. You need an experienced dental hygienist who can provide preventive oral hygiene and gum treatments to prevent different dental conditions such as gum diseases and tooth decay.
A dental hygienist’s primary aim is to prevent and treat gum disease, a common cause of tooth loss. Most people suffer from different forms of gum diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontal disease, at some point in their lives. With a good dental hygiene routine and regular hygienist’s appointments, you prevent gum disease or stop the condition from worsening.
Gum disease occurs from the accumulation of plaque and tartar on the teeth. Even with a good dental hygiene routine, your regular teeth cleaning may not reach certain difficult-to-reach areas, so you need to visit your dental hygienist to clean your teeth thoroughly. Your hygienist will scale and polish your teeth to remove all plaque and tartar on your teeth. A dental hygienist appointment for teeth cleaning is essential for people wearing braces because cleaning certain areas of the teeth is difficult.
Your dental hygienist can also show you the right teeth cleaning technique to prevent food particle and bacteria from getting stuck in your teeth and advise you on the right care method to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
You would also get advice on the right toothbrush and special products like interdental brushes and floss. Adhering to your dental hygienist’s care advice will help you prevent dental problems that require invasive and expensive dental treatments.
You may not get a hygienist treatment on the NHS, but it is available to children and adults at private dental practices. Depending on the state of your teeth, you can get a hygienist treatment to remove tartar and plaque on your teeth.
Your hygienist may perform x-rays to help your dentist diagnose a dental problem and provide fissure sealants with fluoride treatment such as fluoride varnish. Your hygienist can carry out different treatments under the recommendation of your dentist.
