Hygienist Services
The hygienist provides an invaluable service to patients, looking at preventative dentistry the hygienist is on hand to offer expert advice on maintenance and how to keep your teeth and mouth in tip top condition. The major cause of tooth loss now in the UK is gum disease, which is the loss of boney support for the teeth. The hygienist is uniquely placed to be able to prevent the build up of plaque and calculus in difficult to reach areas and to prevent the early onset and progression of gum disease.
Other hygienist services include advice and assistance with tooth whitening, fissure sealants for children and adults, to help dental decay and even taking radiographs (x-rays).
