Knowing the importance of dental hygiene, we have created a dedicated hygienist wing at the practice where we’re able to offer a comprehensive range of dental hygiene treatments. With a team hand-picked for their skills, interests, care, and passion for dental hygiene, The Dentist is committed to offering our patients 360-degree care.
Our dental hygiene team at The Dentist are able to offer jet polishing, ultrasonic cleaning, and hand instrumentation. They are also instrumental in preventing, detecting, diagnosing, and treating periodontal disease and other periodontal infections.
With their prodigious knowledge, our kind, compassionate team are also able to help with oral hygiene instruction for both adults and children. They will be able to help build a treatment plan and give advice on how to care for your teeth and oral health at home.
Otherwise known as gum disease or periodontitis, periodontal disease is a relatively common oral health issue and – without treatment – is one of the leading causes of tooth loss. It’s also very easy to prevent and treat, however, especially with regular visits to an attentive dental hygienist.
If you’re experiencing inflamed gums, increased sensitivity, or receding or bleeding gums then this could be a sign you have periodontal disease. Pain when brushing your teeth is another symptom. If you are regularly visiting a dental hygienist here at the practice, then they may well be able to spot the signs before you even experience any of these symptoms.
Treatment of periodontal or gum disease is of great importance because it will stop any uncomfortable or painful symptoms you might be experiencing. Even more importantly, it can help stop further issues from developing. As mentioned, this can include tooth loss, but it has also been linked to wider health issues such as heart disease and diabetes.
