Dental Hygienist Abingdon
Care for your teeth between dental checkups with a dental hygiene appointment. Our dental hygiene team will help you on your journey to better oral health.
Introduction to Dental Hygiene
A visit to the dental hygienist should be part of your annual dental care plan. By combining dental hygiene visits with routine examinations, you can safeguard your oral health against common and treatable conditions like gum disease and tooth decay. The primary role of the dental hygienist is to deliver deep professional cleaning treatments, which help to prevent the build up of plaque and bacteria that can contribute to gum disease. Dental hygienists can also help patients to care for their teeth at home through personalised advice and support. It’s also an ideal opportunity to ask questions about treatments you might be considering.
Benefits of Dental Hygiene
Gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss, but it is highly treatable when we catch it early. Regular dental hygiene cleanings will help to remove all traces of plaque and tartar build up and safeguard against this common condition. Dental hygiene cleanings can also freshen your breath and help to remove surface stains that might be making your teeth appear dull or discoloured. This is why it’s a popular treatment to choose before teeth whitening to help enhance the results. We recommend a dental hygiene cleaning at least once per year, but some patients could benefit from more regular treatments if they are dealing with problems like gum disease or prepared for dental implant treatment.
Why Patients Love Airflow Stain Removal
A traditional scale and polish uses dental tools to help scrap and remove plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth and along the gum line. With Airflow Stain Removal, we can achieve the same results without ever having to touch the surface of your teeth. This system uses a high pressure stream of water, air and fine particles to gently buff the surface of the teeth. It can clean along the gum line and between the teeth to help restore your smile and remove all traces of surface stains and buildup. Patients find that this treatment is often more gentle on the teeth and is therefore better suited for patients with sensitive teeth.
