Hygienist -vital to your dental health!
Our Hygienists are specifically trained and experienced in working with your dentist to help care for your teeth and gums.Their prime role is in the prevention and treatment of gum disease. You will be monitored by them, they may use a precision instrument to measure and chart the depth of any "pockets" around your teeth. They will carry out a treatment plan 'tailored' to your requirements including scaling and polishing, root planing and deep scaling under local anaesthetic if necessary. They will also help you with a maintenance programme to keep your mouth as healthy and clean as possible. It may be recommended that you attend the hygienist more frequently until your problem is brought under control. Visiting the hygienist regulary is vital to maintain good oral health. For children, the hygienists can help by cleaning, polishing, giving oral hygiene instructions and advice. This will help to prolong the life of your childs teeth. They also carry out the application of fissure sealants, a plastic coating to help prevent caries [decay]. Should you have any queries regarding the vital role of the Hygienist at your practice please do not hesitate to contact me.
