Hygiene Care

Oral hygiene is an important aspect of our overall health. With poor oral hygiene can come poor oral health including higher risk of cavity and periodontal disease (gum disease). Most dental treatments rely on healthy gums and clean teeth to remain stable and successful.

Plaque is constantly forming on your teeth. If it is not removed effectively, it can lead to gum disease, bad breath, tooth decay, and eventually tooth loss. The challenge is that these problems often develop silently, without obvious pain in the early stages.

At our practice, hygiene appointments focus on more than just a “scale and polish.” We carefully assess your gum health, remove stubborn deposits that brushing alone cannot remove, and help you understand exactly how to care for your teeth at home.

We tailor advice to your individual needs, including:

• Effective brushing techniques

• Interdental cleaning (flossing and brushes)

• Managing staining and plaque build-up

• Preventing bleeding gums and sensitivity
  
  

Our aim is to help you maintain healthy teeth and gums for life, reducing the need for complex treatment later.

Regular hygiene visits are one of the most valuable investments you can make in your oral health.
