Hygienist

Our skilled hygienist plays a pivotal role in maintaining your optimal oral health, contributing significantly to our continuous endeavour to ensure the longevity of your teeth.

Central to the hygienist's responsibilities is aiding you in upholding a healthy oral cavity, proactively preventing issues such as tooth decay and gum disease – a primary cause of adult tooth loss.

Gum disease often lurks unnoticed, as it tends to be painless. Yet, its gradual progression can inflict enduring harm, eventually leading to tooth loss. This condition stems from the accumulation of plaque, a thin and adhesive bacterial layer that consistently develops on your teeth.

Our hygienist will administer a professional dental cleaning, meticulously removing plaque buildup both above and below the gumline. Furthermore, a polishing procedure will leave your mouth feeling exceptionally fresh and invigorated.

Guidance provided by the hygienist encompasses optimal practices for at-home dental care, encompassing an effective daily cleaning regimen, the use of appropriate interdental products, and the pursuit of a wholesome diet.
