Prevention
Dental hygienist
One appointment of around thirty to sixty minutes.
The dental hygienist gives your mouth a deep professional clean that brushing at home cannot reach. Healthy gums are the quiet condition for teeth that last.
What does it involve?
Plaque and tartar build up where a toothbrush cannot reach, especially along the gum line and between the teeth. That is where inflammation starts, leading to bleeding or receding gums. The hygienist carefully removes this build-up and then polishes your teeth smooth, so plaque takes longer to settle again.
The advice you take home matters just as much. We show you which spots need attention and how to brush and clean between your teeth more effectively. That way the treatment keeps working long after your visit.
