Hygienist South Woodford - Dental Hygienist East London

Bright & White Dental Spa South Woodford

Your gums are the unsung heroes of your smile. They support your teeth, keeping them healthy and strong. Cleaning your teeth properly will protect your gums, removing the bacteria which causes gum disease. Your brushing and cleaning at home removes most of the plaque that develops on the surfaces of your teeth, but some areas can be missed. Trips to the hygienist promise a thorough clean, plus an optional scale and polish, removing both plaque and tartar from your teeth.

The best way to look after your gum health is to see a hygienist, as well as your dentist, every six months. Our dental hygienists in South Woodford, East London will be able to assess and treat any signs of gum disease, as well as give you helpful advice on how to further protect your oral health at home.

How do Hygienists clean teeth?

A scale and polish is the more common type of hygiene treatment. It involves first loosening the tartar with a jet of water, then carefully scaling away plaque and tartar deposits from the teeth. Your hygienist will take care to clean between your teeth and in areas where your gums are already inflamed. Lastly, the teeth are polished with a gritty paste to leave them shiny and smooth.

Periodontics

Gum disease can be treated and reversed in its early stages but if left untreated, it becomes a permanent problem. This later stage causes the gum tissues to recede, which leaves the roots vulnerable to plaque and tartar build ups. Periodontal maintenance can help stall the condition from causing further damage to your smile through root planing (removing plaque and tartar from the roots).

Airflow

Protecting your gums from gum disease will make sure your mouth stays healthy and the best way to protect is to prevent. Airflow stops gum disease from developing through removing biofilm, the biological layer of bacteria that develops on the teeth. It’s a much more thorough clean, going down to a microscopic level.
