Dental hygiene treatment includes professionally
cleaning the teeth for the patient. This is usually called scaling and polishing. However, perhaps our most important role is showing the patient the best way to keep the teeth free of plaque.

The dentist also plays an important role in treating gum disease.

Dental hygiene is a very important part of keeping a healthy smile. Our highly skilled hygienists are specially trained in the prevention of periodontal (gum) disease and dental cavities.

Good oral hygiene habits are the foundation to healthy teeth and gums and need to be established from childhood. Our Hygienists are keen to educate both adults and children about the use of toothbrushes, electronic aids, dental floss and inter-dental brushes.

During your visit to the hygienist your teeth and gums will be thoroughly examined and any irregularities noted. Plaque and surface stains will be removed by gentle scraping, polishing and using the latest prophyflex power sprays.
