Hygienist services play a crucial role in controlling dental issues, as well as maintaining a cheerful smile. In this blog post, we at Andrew House Dental Practice will discuss the different types of hygienist services we offer and how they help you to maintain good oral health.
Our dental hygienists are specially trained to focus on preventive oral care. They ensure that patients receive comprehensive deep cleaning services. We have the latest tools and expertise to remove plaque and tartar build-up. This treatment helps to prevent gum diseases from occurring.
Periodontal maintenance involves the monitoring and treatment of gum health. Periodontal diseases can badly affect the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. As a result, our hygienists will examine the gums for signs of inflammation, bleeding and gum recession. We then follow the advanced techniques to remove plaque and calculus (tartar) deposits both above and below the gumline.
Advanced gum disease may require more extensive treatment. Non-surgical periodontal treatment, also known as scaling and root planing, is often the first line of defence against periodontal diseases. Non-surgical periodontal treatment aims to remove bacteria and stimulate healing, reducing the size of gum pockets and controlling disease progression.
Plaque is a soft, sticky coat that continuously forms on teeth. It can be set as a calculus (tartar) layer and is difficult to remove through regular brushing and flossing. Our expert hygienists perform professional cleanings to clear plaque and calculus from tooth surfaces and below the gum line. We also offer personalised oral hygiene tips to our clients in order to improve their oral care routine.
