Comprehensive Dental Hygiene Services for Healthy Smiles
Why Regular Hygiene Appointments Are Key to Gum Health
What is a Dental Hygienist?
A dental hygienist is a valuable member of the team at Bedford Place Dentist. The hygienist is a separate person to the dentist and works specifically to deep clean the gums and teeth, removing calculus/ tartar (hardened plaque) and stains.
Why are hygiene appointments so important?
Dental Hygiene appointments are crucial for the maintenance of healthy teeth and gums. At Bedford Place Dentist, we feel passionate to deliver care that focuses on prevention rather than treatment. The dental hygienist plays an important part in this as they can prevent and treat gum disease and help get rid of bad breath. They do this by scaling teeth to eradicate calculus/ tartar and giving advice to individuals about oral hygiene.
Our hygiene appointments can vary in time depending on diagnosis and severity of gum health. Generally, 30 minutes is usually enough time to remove all hard plaque deposits. For treatment and maintenance of gum disease, the time during these sessions could be longer- this will be a joint decision between the dentist and the hygienist. Our dental plan is a fantastic opportunity to ensure consistent hygienist attention that is cost effective.
