Regular visits to our dental hygienist will help control the build up of plaque and tartar which can cause gum disease and tooth decay. A visit to our hygienist will leave you with a fresher, brighter and all-round healthier mouth. 

Hygienist Services

Dental hygienists are specially trained to work as part of the dental team and they play a vital role with preventive dental health and showing patients the best way to keep their teeth free of plaque. They also give advice on diet and how to prevent dental decay.

If you are already suffering from bleeding gums and periodontal disease, you will need a course of treatments from our hygienist in cooperation with your regular dentist. Our implant surgeon may also recommend that you see the dental hygienist for a thorough clean before beginning your implant treatment.

Dental hygienists are an integral part of the dental team, and in fact, can save you a great deal of money by helping you keep your teeth healthy and prevent gum disease.
