Dental Hygiene Therapy

One of the most important factors in creating and maintaining a healthy smile is to adopt good oral hygiene habits as part of your regular daily routine. Have a look at our Dental Hygiene Therapy process.

Dental Hygiene Therapy

During a dental hygiene therapy visit our team will devise a cleaning routine for you, explaining and demonstrating the correct techniques to use for effective removal of bacteria. In addition, they will be able to advise you on the best products for flossing and interdental cleaning as well as supporting lifestyle changes through advice on smoking cessation and dietary recommendations.

During a hygiene appointment not only will you have a review of your oral hygiene routine, but you will receive a thorough professional clean, known as a ‘scale and polish’. This involves using a handheld ultrasonic scaler to blast away any bacteria and plaque that has built up as well as removing any staining that may be present. Once your teeth have been thoroughly cleaned, a polish will be applied to remove any further staining and leave you with a smooth finish.

Regular hygiene visits are included in the plans that we offer at Aspire Dental and Facial Aesthetics in addition to your oral health assessments.
