Personalised Dental Hygiene
At Heath Street Dental, we work with you to help you achieve great dental hygiene. Good oral hygiene can help maintain healthy gums, fresher breath and excellent overall oral health.
Good dental hygiene is essential for maintaining a healthy mouth. It plays an important role in preventing gum disease and tooth decay, which can sometimes lead to tooth loss.
Preventive Dental Hygiene
Maintaining an adequate dental hygiene regime at home is essential to help you prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar. However, some parts of the mouth are difficult, if not impossible, to reach. This is why regular dental hygiene treatment to remove plaque and calculus is vital.
It can help to prevent cavities, gingivitis and gum disease. Dental hygiene treatment will also remove stains due to smoking and dietary stains such as coffee or red wine.
An important aspect of your dental hygiene session involves your dentist supervising your hygiene at home. Sometimes people require a more tailored approach to hygiene due to the specific placement of their teeth. Your dentist will show you how best to look after your teeth so they remain free from plaque. They will advise on the best brushing technique and give you tips on flossing and using interdental brushes.
Advanced Gum Care
In more advanced cases of gum disease, deep cleaning beneath the gum-line may be required. This goes much deeper than a routine clean.
Prior to the treatment your dentist may give you some local anaesthetic to numb the area. This allows you to have a more comfortable experience while the affected areas are cleaned thoroughly.
Affordable Dental Care
If you have regular hygiene treatment twice a year, you may wish to consider joining our Denplan club. This allows you to have regular access to private dental care as part of an affordable payment plan.
For example, our Denplan Essentials plan has a small monthly fee, which covers your examinations, two hygiene sessions per year and you also receive a 10% discount off any treatment.
