Hygiene - February 4, 2008

Our hygienists are fully qualified and experienced in their fields. They will improve the health of your gums and the supporting bone around the teeth.

The hygienists at Ultimate Smile Spa will:

  1. Remove calculus or tartar from teeth by a technique called scaling and polishing.
  2. Treat gum disease known as gingivitis or periodontal disease. This is caused by plaque which is a sticky film of bacteria. If left untreated the gums will start to swell and bleed, teeth will loosen and ultimately be lost.
  3. Teaching patients good oral hygiene techniques, individually tailored to specific needs.
  4. Advising on diet and habits which will help to prevent gum problems.
  5. Sealing the fissures (grooves) of newly erupted teeth to ensure they do not decay.
