Scale and polish<\/p> \r\n\r\n \r\n

Where necessary, a scale and polish may be carried out by your dental hygienist to remove any calculus (tartar) that has built up on the teeth. It is important that calculus is removed regularly, as it can result in gum disease, bone loss and even tooth loss. Gum disease is an avoidable condition, so regular hygienist visits and a good oral hygiene routine can help prevent gum disease.\u00a0 As calculus cannot be removed by brushing alone it is important that you attend regular hygiene visits to maintain your oral health. An airflow polishing treatment can also be carried out to remove even the most stubborn stains.<\/p>\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n <\/div> \r\n\r\n <\/div> \r\n\r\n \r\n

Professional periodontal cleaning<\/p> \r\n\r\n \r\n

If you suffer from heavily stained teeth or gum disease, your Dentist may recommend a session with our Hygienist for a professional periodontal clean. Regular scaling of hard to reach areas by the Hygienist will significantly reduce the progression of gum disease. The Hygienist will also be able to remove any unwanted stains, polishing each tooth to leave them feeling fresh and clean.<\/p>\n

The aim of regular dental hygiene therapy is to keep your gums and teeth healthy. A dental Hygienist is specially trained in cleaning and scaling the teeth. As such they are a vital member of the dental team.<\/p>\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n <\/div> \r\n\r\n <\/div> \r\n\r\n \r\n <\/div> \r\n<\/div> \n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
