At Tooth Care Dental, we know the key to positive oral health is good dental hygiene. Let us help you to take care of your teeth and gums Dental hygiene starts at home. Brushing twice daily and flossing as often as possible is essential to maintain good levels of dental hygiene. So, at Tooth Care Dental, we always recommend you come and see us for regular check-ups as well as seeing one of our experienced hygienists to get your teeth as clean as possible.
Our team of hygienists helps you keep your mouth and teeth as fresh as possible. They are at the forefront of preventative dentistry and are trained to spot any problems that may require a dentist’s expertise. At Tooth Care Dental, our hygienists will thoroughly clean your teeth and gums using the most sophisticated dental technology to leave you with a fresher, cleaner mouth than before.
Attending for a thorough clean lessens the likelihood of future problems such as your teeth requiring fillings or other restorative work. The hygienist will also be able to tackle any staining that has marked the teeth.
They can also offer advice on how to look after your teeth at home as well as caring for the teeth of younger members of the family. This can include showing you the best way to brush your teeth, recommending effective dental products and providing dietary advice.
Not looking after your teeth or gums properly can cause a multitude of problems including:
Should I visit a dentist or a hygienist? Ideally, you should visit both. A dentist will see you for routine check-ups or treatment, whereas a hygienist will see you for ‘maintenance’ appointments. At your next visit to Tooth Care Dental, double check with our team to see when your last appointment with the dentist or hygienist was and let’s go from there.
How long does a hygienist appointment take? This depends on each individual patient. However, on average it should take between 30 to 60 minutes to receive a thorough and effective clean.
