Why is Oral Hygiene so important?

Oral hygiene is vital for overall health, as it helps prevent a range of dental issues, including cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Poor oral hygiene can lead to more serious health problems, such as heart disease and diabetes.

By maintaining a consistent routine of brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits, you can protect your teeth and gums, ensuring a healthy smile. Good oral hygiene not only enhances your appearance but also boosts your confidence and overall well-being.

What happens at your appointment

During your dental hygiene appointment at Serenity Dental Care, our skilled hygienists will begin by reviewing your medical history and discussing any concerns you may have. Next, they will perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums, followed by a professional cleaning. This process includes scaling (removing plaque and tartar buildup) and polishing your teeth, and providing personalised oral care tips.

If any issues are detected, the dentist will discuss treatment options with you. Our goal is to ensure your dental health while making you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.

The benefits of Hygiene Treatment

Regular hygiene treatments offer numerous benefits for your oral health. They help prevent gum disease by removing plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of cavities and other dental issues. Hygiene treatments also promote fresher breath and a brighter smile by effectively cleaning and polishing your teeth.

Furthermore, maintaining good dental hygiene can lead to overall better health, as oral health is closely linked to conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. By prioritising hygiene treatments, you invest in your long-term oral and overall well-being.

How often should you visit the hygienist?

Visiting the hygienist regularly is essential for maintaining optimal oral health. It is generally recommended to schedule an appointment every six months; however, some individuals may require more frequent visits based on their specific dental needs. Factors such as gum disease history, plaque buildup, or overall health can influence the required frequency of appointments.

Regular hygiene visits help to prevent dental issues, ensure proper cleaning, and provide personalised advice for maintaining your dental hygiene at home. Always consult with your dentist to determine the best schedule for your individual needs.
