Hygiene Care and Gum Maintenance at Your Dentistree

We are passionate about preventative dental care and gum maintenance.

With your happiness and confidence in mind, our skilled staff aim to empower you to live your life with a healthy smile, and will provide you with advice on all aspects of dental hygiene, including the use of toothbrushes, fresh breath solutions, electronic aids, dental floss and interdental brushes.

In most cases, to maintain healthy teeth and gums, it’s suggested to visit your hygienist and dentist twice a year.

Oral Hygiene:

It’s recommended to have six monthly preventative check-ups with the hygienist and dentist. During this appointment a thorough examination to identify any issues will be undertaken. Any bacteria from the teeth and gums will be removed to maintain optimal oral health.

A clean and polish will be performed to eliminate any plaque buildup that regular brushing may miss. Maintaining a healthy oral routine involving regular check-ups, twice-daily brushing and flossing is important.

Poor hygiene can lead to:

• Loss of teeth
• Poor overall health
• Increased risk of heart disease or stroke

What can I expect at my appointment for a check-up and clean?

Examination

Using a mirror and other instruments the dentist will evaluate your teeth, gums, bite and overall presentation.

Radiographs such as x-rays

If further investigation is necessary then small x-rays to check for any decay or gum disease will occur. In some cases, a large x-ray may also be necessary to assess wisdom teeth. All our x-ray’s are done on-site meaning the process is fast and convenient.

Scale and polish

It’s recommended to have your check-up every six months and calculus buildup removed. This ensures protection against gum disease and decay. Our hygienists and dentists are very gentle and use the latest equipment and technology to ensure the procedure is done without any discomfort.

Treatment overview

At the start an overview of your treatment plan and options is given. We ensure you’re comfortable and understand what the treatment requires.
