Dental hygiene appointments in Andover
One of the best ways to safeguard your oral health and avoid problems like gum disease and tooth decay is with regular dental hygiene appointments. Brushing your teeth and flossing at home can only do so much, so if you want to enhance your oral care and achieve the cleanest possible teeth, you need to add regular dental hygiene appointments to your schedule.
By combining regular dental hygiene cleanings with dental checkups will ensure that you have the best possible chance of catching small issues before they become much more serious. It’s also a highly effective treatment for active gum disease and can help to reverse or treat the condition. This can help to prevent the problem from progressing and leading to further issues such as tooth loss. To get started on your journey to better oral health, book an appointment with our team.
The importance of professional cleaning
The purpose of a dental hygiene visit is to deeply clean your teeth, including in hard to reach areas like between your teeth and along the gumline. We can use a variety of methods, including the traditional scale and polish tools, or the modern Airflow polishing system. Both will allow us to remove all traces of plaque and dental calculus from your teeth, and it can often offer a subtle whitening effect as surface stains will also be removed. Plaque is a sticky substance that covers the surface of your teeth. You can brush it away with good oral care, but patches are often missed between the teeth and along the gum line.
Plaque will eventually harden into a cement-like substance that binds to the teeth. This can look discoloured and dark, leading to a dark brown or yellow appearance. With regular dental hygiene cleanings, you can safeguard your oral health by removing all traces of plaque and calculus, effectively allowing you to hit ‘reset’ on your teeth.
What to expect during your appointment
Your dental hygiene appointment will be completely customised to your needs, allowing us to focus on the aspects of your oral health that are most important to you. We start with an examination of your teeth and gums to identify any problem areas. We might advise you on how to improve your oral care routine at home. Next, we’ll complete a full scale and polish, focusing on any problem areas to ensure your mouth is completely clean. You’ll notice fresher breath and a brighter smile after your treatment. This is ideal for smokers who might be self conscious about their breath, or for individuals exploring extensive treatments like dental implants.
A trip to the hygienist in Andover can also help if you have developed a fear of the dentist and would like some help feeling more confident in the dentist’s chair again. To get started on your journey to better oral health, book an appointment with Damira Wellum House Dental Practice today.
