Dental hygiene appointments in Chipping Norton
Perhaps the easiest way to protect your teeth and gums from common conditions like tooth decay or gum disease is through regular dental hygiene cleanings. This simple step is often overlooked, but with direct access dental hygienist appointments from Damira Chipping Norton Dental Practice, this is easier than ever before.
A dental hygienist works alongside the dentist to help patients to improve their oral health. They carry out dental cleanings, often known as a scale and polish. This treatment uses special tools to remove all traces of plaque and calculus from the teeth, including in hard to reach areas like the gum line and between the teeth. Your teeth will be free from bacteria build up and protected against gum disease and tooth decay.
We recommend dental hygiene cleaning between 1-2 times per year, or more if you have active gum disease or are preparing for complex treatment like dental implants. The Airflow polishing system is the ideal choice for achieving that dentist clean feeling that you could never achieve with brushing alone.
The importance of professional cleaning
If you have never attended a dental hygiene appointment, don’t panic, you’re not alone. Many adults miss out on this treatment as it wasn’t widely available with NHS care. The introduction of private dental hygiene treatments means that more patients can take advantage of this simple yet effective way to brighten and protect teeth. This type of professional cleaning can reach all of the difficult areas you might be missing with your toothbrush, including along the gumline and between the teeth.
If you’re nervous about visiting the dentist and have been avoiding checkups for a long time, this could be the perfect way to hit reset on your oral health and get confident in the dentist’s chair again. You’ll also have a chance to ask questions about caring for your teeth at home, so you can feel confident in your oral care routine.
What to expect during your appointment
Your dental hygiene appointment will be customised to your needs. We’ll start with an exam to look at the general condition of your teeth and gums. Your hygienist will then perform a dental cleaning, focusing on the areas that are most in need of a deep cleaning. This could be along your gum line, between teeth or in hard to reach areas at the back of your mouth.
Alongside a deep cleaning that removes all traces of sticky plaque and hard tartar buildup, your dental hygienist can offer advice on your oral care routine. If you are missing spots when you brush, it will be clear to your dental hygienist. This is an ideal pre-treatment for cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or dental implants, and the ideal post-treatment care after having your braces removed.
