HYGIENISTS

 The hygienist is a very important member of our team who specialises in the treatment and prevention of gum diseases, which can cause teeth to be lost through the destruction of the supporting bone, gum and ligaments. 

Our hygienist routinely cleans teeth, monitors gum condition and offers advice on oral hygiene and diet.

If your dentist recommends an appointment with the hygienist it is because signs of gum problems have been diagnosed and you will benefit from the care in both active treatment and preventive advice that the hygienist can offer.

QUICK AND PAINLESS TREATMENT

Our hygienist now has the latest equipment for stain removal. This treatment is primarily used to remove staining built up on teeth caused by smoking, tea, coffee, red wine and other food stuffs consumed over a long period of time.

Although this is not strictly a whitening treatment, patients have commented on how much cleaner and whiter their teeth appear. The treatment is quick, painless and works by air, water and carbonated particles being projected at high pressure onto the tooth surface. The treatment is non-damaging to the tooth surface.
