What Our Dental Hygienists Do

A dental hygienist is focused on the overall current and future health of your teeth and gums. To do this, they will provide you with detailed advice on good oral hygiene, showing you how to brush and floss your teeth correctly, for instance. They may offer lifestyle advice too, such as giving guidance on stopping smoking and which foods and drinks to avoid to prevent a build-up of the plaque that causes tooth decay and gum disease.

You can also book a professional scale and polish, which goes one step further than your normal brushing at home. This process is entirely painless, but works to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, particularly in those hard-to-reach places. Regular tooth scaling like this can prevent the formation of cavities, gum disease and other common dental problems.

Working with our dentists, our dental hygienists can additionally offer detailed advice on maintaining the results of general and cosmetic treatment carried out by our dentists. This might include, for example, providing aftercare for dental implants or applying topical sealants to prevent cavities forming. Finally, whitening procedures are also available to remove stains and discolouration from the teeth’s surfaces.
