HYGIENE

Regular visits to a dental hygienist will ensure that hidden and difficult-to-reach plaque and tartar is removed from your teeth removing rough surfaces which contribute to build up of bacterial numbers, and improving the health of your teeth and gums. Hygienists can also help you maintain brighter, whiter teeth.

Normally the body’s natural defenses and good oral health care, such as daily brushing and flossing, keep bacteria under control. However, without proper oral hygiene, bacteria can reach levels that might lead to oral infections, such as tooth decay and gum disease.

Good oral hygiene and regular dental check ups are necessary to keep teeth and gums healthy. However, oral health is more than just cavities and gum disease.
