our hygienists

Working with you to protect and maintain

By working with the dentist, our hygienists will deliver a personalised hygiene programme tailored to your specific needs; this plan is designed to protect and maintain your dental health. The hygienist has extensive knowledge and experience of the way in which different factors -such as your genetic make-up, lifestyle, age, diet and dental hygiene - can affect gum disease and tooth decay. With this in mind, they will offer practical advice and demonstrations on working the programme into your daily routine.

As well as providing a scale, polish and professional clean, the hygienist will record your plaque levels, check for re-occurring areas of tooth decay and gum disease, treat any localised flare-ups, remove (as much as possible) the bacteria that has migrated under the gum line, offer you dietary advice, and make recommendations and adjustments to your daily home care routine.
