Dental Hygiene – What You Need To Know.

Dental Hygiene – A Scale And Polish.

Professional teeth cleaning services are offered by hygienists through a process known as scaling and polishing. During the appointment, an initial dental hygiene examination is conducted by the hygienist. The examination is followed by scaling of teeth to remove plaque or tartar buildup in areas that cannot be reached by brushing. Subsequently, a clean and polish is performed to remove superficial stains from teeth.

Tailored advice on maintaining good dental health and demonstrations of techniques for home use are also provided by the hygienist. Additionally, they offer advice on diet and preventing tooth decay, while also identifying signs of gum disease. Referral to a dentist or periodontist is done if further treatment is needed.

Dental Hygiene – The Benefits.

Visiting a dental hygienist is an important step in maintaining your oral health and ensuring a confident smile. With almost half of the population affected by gum disease, it is essential to seek advice and treatment from a hygienist to prevent and eliminate the issue. Not only does this help prevent ongoing dental repairs and tooth replacement, but it also enables you to keep your original teeth for life.
Regular visits to the hygienist also ensure that your teeth remain free of plaque and tartar deposits, leaving you with a smile that you can be proud of. In addition, they provide valuable education and advice on maintaining good oral hygiene, enabling you to avoid dental problems and reduce ongoing treatment from your dentist.
Maintaining fresh breath is another key benefit of visiting a hygienist, as they can help to identify and treat halitosis, a condition that can cause embarrassment and discomfort. Furthermore, hygienists conduct oral cancer screenings, identifying any early warning signs of cancer that, if caught early, can lead to successful treatment. This is particularly important for tobacco smokers who may be at a higher risk of developing oral cancer.
Overall, the benefits of visiting a dental hygienist are numerous, providing invaluable support and advice to ensure that you maintain good oral health and a confident smile for life.

Why Is It Important To Remove Plaque?

Dental Hygiene - Kensington Court Clinic - why you should remove plaque -bleeding gums
Maintaining good dental hygiene is essential to avoid the consequences of plaque buildup, which is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth and along the gum line.
Plaque is colorless or pale yellow and begins to accumulate between four to twelve hours after brushing, necessitating thorough brushing at least twice daily and flossing regularly.

When sugary foods are consumed, bacteria in the plaque produce acids that gradually erode tooth enamel and lead to tooth decay. Failure to remove plaque may also result in gum disease, characterized by swollen and bleeding gums known as gingivitis, which can progress to periodontitis if left untreated. In periodontitis, the gums detach from the teeth, causing deep pockets and loose teeth that may ultimately fall out.
