Hygiene

Hygiene

Dental hygiene and preventative dental care are essential parts of your dental care.

Why should I visit the dental hygienist?

Regular hygiene appointments are necessary for helping to prevent, identify and, in some cases, even treat gum disease.

What is gum disease?

Also known as gingivitis, gum disease is a common oral health issue that is preventable. If you have inflamed gums, bleeding or receding gums, and increased sensitivity, visit your dentist right away. 

Why is it important to treat gum disease?

Gum disease affects the structures that support the teeth, which can contribute to infections and loose and wobbly teeth. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss. If you are concerned that you may be suffering from gum disease, book an appointment.

How can I prevent gum disease?

Gum disease is best prevented through preventative dental care, which means rigorous and effective oral health care. This includes regular visits – we recommend once or twice a year – to a gum disease dentist or dental hygienist.
