Hygiene
What is it?
Gum disease is one of the leading factors in tooth loss.
Dental hygiene maintains the teeth and the gum structures in a healthy state by regular maintenance. This involves the cleaning and removal of sticky plaque and the hard deposits of scale.
Symptoms of gum disease are:
- Bleeding gums
- Bad breath
- Recession of gums and bone
- Eventual tooth loss
The hygienist will help you maintain your oral health by:
- Advising on brushing / diet
- Regular deep cleaning / airstream
It is important to attend the hygienist regularly to maintain your oral health tissues.
