Hygienists are a very important member of the dental team as good oral health can prevent a number of dental problems.
Hygienists are trained in the treatment and prevention of gum diseases. Visits to the Hygienist support the work that your dentist does and normally involve a thorough clean, scale and polish, monitoring of your gum condition and advice on brushing and flossing techniques and diet.
Our dentists will recommend a visit to the hygienist if they find signs of gum disease as you will benefit from both the active treatment and preventative advice that this service can offer.
