The benefits of visiting a dental hygienist in South Wales
Professional cleaning and tartar removal
Plaque is a sticky bacterial coating that forms on your teeth. If it isn't brushed or flossed away properly, including in difficult-to-reach areas like between the teeth, the plaque hardens into tartar deposits, which cannot be removed easily at home.
Persistent plaque and calculus are a leading cause of periodontal disease, which can result in bleeding gums, tooth mobility and eventually tooth loss.
Your dental hygienist will perform a professional and intensive deep clean on all accessible surfaces of the teeth to ensure any plaque and tartar are fully removed. If you have tooth decay, they may also apply a fluoride gel to help protect the teeth from further attack.
Stain removal
Drinking tea, coffee, red wine or fizzy drinks will gradually stain your teeth over time. Your hygienist will be able to clean these stains away for a whiter smile.
Our hygienists use the innovative EMS system which utilises Guided Biofilm Therapy to clean your teeth effectively, which uses air, sodium bicarbonate and water together to remove stains.
Fresh breath
A cleaner mouth free from bacteria and decay means fresher breath! So, you can talk and socialise at ease without feeling self-conscious about your breath.
Prevention of gum disease
Excellent dental hygiene ensures healthy gums and reduces your chances of gum disease, which, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss.
Early signs of gum disease include:
- Bleeding gums when brushing
- Red or swollen gums
- Sore or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gum line
- A bad taste in your mouth
Your hygienist will test for this, and if any signs of gum disease are found, they may apply an anti-bacterial gel under the gum line to kill the bacteria that cause it.
With regular appointments, they will find and treat it before it progresses. However, if you have advanced gum disease (periodontitis), we provide gum disease therapy to treat the condition and prevent damage to the surrounding bone.
Oral hygiene plan
Our experienced dental team will work with your individual needs to create a tailor-made plan for optimum maintenance of your oral hygiene.
This includes recommending the right products, explaining the different types of brushes and showing you the most effective ways to clean your teeth and gums.
Dietary advice and smoking cessation
The foods we eat can affect the condition of our teeth, whether it be through staining or acid erosion. If your diet is causing dental problems, our hygienists can advise on changing your eating habits to prevent further harm.
Your dental hygienist can also offer smoking cessation guidance if required, as smoking is a big factor in causing periodontal disease, staining, bone loss, oral cancer and preventing healing after dental work.
How often should I visit my dental hygienist in South Wales?
We recommend having regular hygiene treatments every six months alongside your routine dental health reviews. This will help to ensure that any developing issues are found and treated before they become detrimental to your oral hygiene.
