Professional Dental Hygiene at Oakmead Dental Care
At Oakmead Dental Care, we believe prevention is the key to long-term oral health. Our skilled hygienists provide thorough yet gentle treatments to help protect your teeth and gums, while also giving you the knowledge to maintain a healthy smile at home.
What does a dental hygienist do?
Dental hygienists specialise in preventive care and oral health education. They work alongside our dentists to help you keep your teeth strong, your gums healthy, and your smile fresh.
Our Hygienist Services include:
- Tailored oral hygiene advice – personalised guidance to improve your daily routine
- Regular monitoring of teeth and gums – early detection of potential problems
- Dietary advice – tips to reduce the risk of decay and erosion
- Desensitising treatment – applying protective seals to reduce tooth sensitivity
- Professional cleaning (scaling and polishing) – removing harmful plaque and calculus
- Root surface debridement (periodontal treatment) – to manage gum disease effectively
We recommend that all adults visit the hygienist every six months to maintain optimal oral health. Regular appointments not only keep your teeth and gums in excellent condition but also give you peace of mind, knowing that any issues are spotted early before they become serious.
How often should I see the hygienist?
Most adults benefit from seeing the hygienist every six months, although some patients may need more frequent visits depending on their oral health.
Does a hygienist appointment hurt?
Our hygienists are highly skilled and provide gentle, comfortable care. If you have sensitive teeth, we can offer desensitising treatments.
Is hygienist treatment just cleaning?
No, hygienist visits also include gum health checks, personalised oral hygiene advice, and treatments to prevent sensitivity, gum disease, and decay.
Do children need to see the hygienist?
Yes, children benefit from hygiene appointments to help build good habits and reduce the risk of future dental problems.
