Dental Hygiene
Keeping your mouth clean and healthy
Treatment of Gum Disease
For many people visiting the hygienist is a way of staying on top of your oral health, and keeping your mouth feeling clean. However visiting the hygienist regularly also has other benefits.
Many people have inflamed gums, without knowing it, known as gum disease. In severe cases the support around your teeth deteriorates and can lead to tooth loss. To help prevent and treat gum disease, our hygienist will carefully clean around your teeth, and support you to optimise your oral hygiene.
