Our practice has a dedicated dental hygienist to look after all your dental hygiene needs. She is available 3 days a week including Saturdays.
Good home care & regular professional cleaning is vital to maintaining your gum health, oral health and general health too. It is recommended that patients with gum disease attend the hygienist every 3-6 months.

Gum/periodontal disease is an inflammatory condition of the gum and bone surrounding the teeth which causes:

• Bleeding gums
• Receding gums
• Sensitive teeth
• Bone loss resulting in loose teeth

The hygienist specialises in the prevention and treatment of gum/periodontal disease. Treatments include:

• Scale & polish
• Deep scaling with local anaesthetic
• Stain removal
• Individualised oral hygiene advice tailored to your needs
• Products to optimise your home care
