Our patients benefit from the professional care they receive from our Hygienists.

Their work involves the constant battle against plaque, the main cause of dental problems. Treatment may involve one or more visits during which hardened plaque (scale or tartar) is removed from around the tooth surfaces. Any staining will be brushed off and the teeth polished.

With regular visits we can monitor your oral health, prevent gum disease and the incurable damage it can do. Recent research has implicated gum disease in many health issues, particularly a strong contributing factor in heart disease.

Our Hygienists can also help our younger patients by sealing the fissures of the permanent teeth, preventing decay in these vulnerable areas.
