Hygienist Services...

​

Dental hygiene appointments are essential to maintaining healthy gums and teeth. 

​

Regular visits to the hygienist is one of the most effective ways to help fight gum disease, remove plaque and tartar, treat bad breath, and remove staining.

​

Whether you’re dealing with any of these problems now or you’re worried about facing them in the future, you can rest assured that our dental hygienist has the knowledge and expertise to provide you with the best course of action to maintaining a healthy mouth.

 

If you’re not experiencing any of the above problems, visits to the hygienist can help prevent these issues from developing in the future.

​

Regular dental hygiene visits to us means that we can also help improve the appearance of your teeth. 

We can help create cleaner, whiter teeth which in turn can improve, self-confidence, and an overall healthier mouth which will lead to improved oral health.

What Services are Available?

​

Simple Hand Scale

This involves the use of metal hand instruments to clean along the gum line and

between the teeth

​

Scale and Polish

This involves the use of metal hand instruments and an ultrasonic scaler 

to clean along the gum line and between the teeth

​

Air Polish 

This technique uses a targeted jet of compressed air mixed with water and powder that is very effective at removing stains from the surface of teeth as well as removing trapped food debris and plaque build-up from between the teeth..

​

Periodontal Treatment 

This involves the removal of the bacterial accumulation underneath the gums. A periodontal cleaning gives each tooth a “clean slate”, allowing the body to heal the areas of inflammation and disease caused by the bacteria.

​

Direct Access

This allows patients to see a hygienist without the need of a treatment prescription from a dentist. If the hygienist does spot anything that is outside of their scope of practice, they will refer you to a dentist for a check-up. 

​

Sensitive Teeth

If you suffer from sensitivity during scaling, our hygienists can administer local and topical anaesthetic to make the process more comfortable for you. 

​

Advice and Recommendations

Your dental hygienist will offer tailored advice and guidance on how to help you maintain good teeth and gum health at home. This may include the recommendation of certain dental products that we sell in practice.
