Dental Hygiene In Edgware
As we all know, prevention is better than cure. It, therefore, follows that regular check-ups with a dental hygienist will ensure your gums stay healthy, avoiding discomfort and saving money in the future from gum and teeth issues.
Your check-up will involve a professional cleaning of your teeth, using dental instruments such as air jets and polishers, which will loosen and remove tartar and plaque deposits from your teeth. Your teeth will instantly feel much cleaner, healthier and look much brighter.
A key aspect of the dental hygienist’s role is to show you how to look after your teeth and gums so they remain healthy and disease-free. During your first appointment, you will be advised on the best techniques for brushing, flossing, and using interdental brushes.
Gum Disease
Gum disease can be caused by a number of dental issues. The most common cause is plaque build-up, where bacteria cause inflammation and bleeding. Left untreated, a mild reversible form of gum disease called gingivitis can result and if this progresses, it can lead to periodontitis, which irreversibly destroys both gum and bone tissue. In periodontitis, the gum comes away from the tooth to create deep pockets. These pockets need to be treated in order to stabilise the disease process.
It is very important to treat the early signs of gum disease. For example, if you experience bleeding after brushing or flossing, you may want to discuss this with your dentist, as well as brushing and flossing more thoroughly.
We recommend regular hygiene appointments to ensure that your mouth stays healthy and clean.
