Why dental hygiene is important?
Dental hygienists have a key role to play in oral health care, in ensuring that gum disease does not arise as well as to help maintain restorations (bridges, crowns, fillings, and so on). Gum disease is the biggest single cause of adult tooth loss and a problem that we take very seriously.
Our specialists
Our hygienists are trained in the latest treatments to keep your mouth infection-free. They are skilled professionals who have a key part to play in the prevention and treatment of gum disease. They are not just there to clean teeth but they also have a very important role to play in preventing tooth decay by providing education, treatment and care. The need for regular dental hygiene visits is on equal terms with regular dental visits.
What does a visit to a dental hygienist consist of?
Hygienists carry out two major activities - scaling and polishing the teeth and instructing patients to begin and keep up an oral hygiene plan that suits their individual requirements and abilities. This is especially necessary when restorations are there; the bridgework and crown are the perfect place for the build up of plaque. In case you do not get rid of plaque from these sites, it will radically decrease the restorations’ life-term.
When the Hygienist attends to you, he will eliminate calculus (or calcified plaque) as well, as plaque accumulation by painstakingly cleaning the teeth using special tools. We will demonstrate to you an everyday practice for getting rid of plaque from the mouth by means of cleaning thoroughly with a brush and a daub of fluoride toothpaste. Besides, you will be taught how to get rid of plaque build up between the teeth using, dental floss, or a tiny inter-space brushes.
With the right home oral care and frequent screening by the smilesbyhillside Dental Practice hygienist and dentist, you will retain your teeth lifelong.
