Teeth Cleaning and Hygiene

Teeth Cleaning & Hygiene

Supplementing your day-to-day teeth cleaning and oral health practices with regular visits to the dental hygienist will keep your teeth and gums fresh, strong and happy.

What are the benefits of teeth cleaning and hygiene?

You are far more likely to lose your teeth to gum disease than to tooth decay. And whilst brushing your teeth twice a day and using mouthwash and floss provide a solid foundation for good oral health, there’s simply no substitute for periodic checkups with a dental hygienist.

Professional dental cleaning and hygiene maintenance will not only keep your teeth looking healthy, but will also ensure you have no dental problems flying under the radar. Dental hygienists are trained to spot signs of gum disease, which in turn can lead to tooth loss. They will know if you need to be referred to a dentist or other dental professional.
