Hygiene and Gum Care

Gum care is vital to keep hold of your teeth for life, keep your breath fresh and keep a healthy youthful smile. Neglecting your gums can cause many problems including tooth decay, sensitivity, pain and eventually, loose teeth.

We offer our patients the skills of our hygienists Cara McAleavey on mondays and thursdays and Carol Berra on tuesdays and wednesdays. Keeping your teeth clean and your gums maintained is the basis for a healthy mouth and a smile that you can be proud of!

For more advanced cases Navidah Choudhary carries out Periodontal Assessments and Treatments.

During your hygiene visit the hygienist will assess your gums, remove tartar/plaque and staining, and give you advice and tips on how to brush and floss correctly and effectively. If you would like to know more or make an appointment call 01525 374100 or click here!

The hygienist plays a key role in looking after your teeth:

• Remove tartar that cannot be removed with a toothbrush
• Ensure that your gums are healthy and pink, not inflamed and red
• Give you important care advice to carry out an effective dental care routine every day at home.
• Stop gums bleeding when brushing
• Prevent teeth from becoming loose and drifting
