Typically an hygienist appointment will last 30 minutes.
Dental Hygienist Appointments
The need for regular dental hygiene visits is on equal terms with regular dental visits
The gums are the external fabric, which covers the bone which holds the teeth in place. If the gums become infected, there is a high chance that the underlying bone will be affected, dissolving down. If enough bone dissolves down, the teeth become loose. If the infection becomes stabilised, then bony destruction stops.
Gum disease is the biggest single cause of adult tooth loss and a problem that we take very seriously. Our hygienists are trained in the latest treatments to keep your mouth infection-free. They are skilled professionals who have a key role to play in the prevention and treatment of gum disease. They are not just there to clean teeth but they have a very important part to play in preventing tooth decay by providing education, treatment and care. They will also advise you on the comprehensive range of dental products and their usage.
