Dental Hygiene

It can be helpful to think of dental hygiene as the first line of defence in your oral health routine.

Proper dental hygiene can mean the difference between tooth decay and gum disease and a completely healthy mouth that requires little to no intervention treatments such as fillings, root canal treatments, and more.

It is especially important in the prevention and detection of gum disease.

Gum disease is a common affliction and is, in fact, the most common disease in Europe. It is also easily preventable and easily treatable once detected.

Prevention, detection, and treatment are of the utmost importance; however, if left untreated, gum disease can cause infection, tooth loss, and even tooth loss or extraction.

• Bleeding gums.
• Receding gums.
• Inflamed gums.
• A change in the colour of the gums to a dusky purple.
• Increased sensitivity.

Gum disease is prevented through rigorous and proper oral hygiene routines. This means both your at-home oral hygiene and visits to us here for dental examinations and dental hygiene appointments.

Our gentle and highly trained dental hygienists will examine and inspect the mouth for signs of tooth decay and gum disease before performing a thorough cleaning that will leave the teeth looking and feeling super fresh and polished.

Our skilled hygienists can also recommend and build bespoke at-home cleaning routines for each individual patient. These will be tailored to your specific needs and oral health history.
