Services - Oral Hygiene
Gum disease is an infection of the tissues
surrounding and supporting the teeth. It is a major cause of
tooth loss in adults. Because gum disease is usually painless,
you may not know you have it.
Dental Hygienists/therapists are specialists
in all aspects of preventive dentistry. They play an important
role in dental health care by helping to prevent gum disease and
keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy.
Good home care is important if gum disease
and tooth decay are not to progress into more serious problems.
We advise all our patients to have regular
visits with the hygienist who will work with you on specific
tailor made oral hygiene regimes for you to follow at home.
