Why make an appointment to see Dental Hygienists

At Dentalcare Berinsfield, our dental hygienists are devoted to working with you to improve your oral health. We pay particular attention to gums as well as teeth because it is now well known that gum disease can not only affect the health of your teeth but can seriously affect the rest of your general health too.

We recommend that you see a hygienist twice a year. Regular dental hygiene appointments can act as a preventative measure in avoiding:

  • Tooth decay
  • Bleeding gums
  • Painful teeth
  • Bad breath
  • Discoloured or stained teeth

We are proud to offer the latest in teeth cleaning and polishing – Airflow. This unique cleaning system combines air, water and sodium bicarbonate to efficiently remove stubborn stains, it will leave teeth looking cleaner and whiter. Airflow is a great way to bring back the sparkle to your teeth especially if you don’t want to go ahead with teeth whitening treatments.

Frequently asked questions about dental hygiene

What can I do to prevent hygiene being a problem?

Keeping a regular cleaning routine at home is essential to prevent issues such as tooth decay and gum disease from occurring. Your hygienist can talk to you about how to properly brush your teeth as well as flossing and taking care of your gums.

How often should I see the hygienist?

We recommend seeing your hygienist twice a year but you may need more appointments if you have had extra dental work such as dental implants or if you’ve experienced tooth decay or gum disease.

How does the hygienist differ from the dentist?

Your hygienist will focus more on the health of your gums and how you can prevent plaque and tartar from forming. Your hygienist will be able to give you advice on cleaning as well as diet and lifestyle which can all affect the health of your teeth and gums.
