The hygienist’s main job is to prevent and treat gum disease. This includes professionally cleaning your teeth by removing plaque and tartar (soft and hard plaque), particularly from important areas that are difficult to reach by brushing alone.
However, perhaps their most important role is showing you the best way to keep your teeth free of plaque. The hygienist will work with your dental team to give you the care that is tailored to your needs. In order to enjoy this service, you will be required to join our Patient Plan.
A clean and healthy mouth improves your appearance, gives you fresh breath and improves your long term dental health. Regular Hygiene treatment at Bermondsey Dental Studio combined with following our advice for your homecare routine will ensure huge dental, health and cosmetic benefits.
Hygiene therapy focuses on the prevention of periodontal disease (gum disease). This affects the gums and bone supporting your teeth that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush. Attending regular Hygiene therapy sessions keeps these difficult to reach areas clean and stops plaque and tartar build-up, helping prevent periodontal disease.
Dental Hygienists help to treat and prevent periodontal (gum) disease through professional scaling and polishing treatments, along with ongoing monitoring and screening of your oral health. Dental Hygienists can also apply fluoride treatments and sealants to help reduce the risk of tooth decay and support long-term dental health.
