Hygienist Services

Dental hygiene is the cornerstone of good oral health and we actively encourage our patients to make use of dental therapist services; seeing our dental therapist on a regular basis will not only reduce your risk of developing tooth decay and gum disease, it will also ensure that your teeth look radiant and clean.

Our highly trained, friendly dental therapist, provides a host of services, including:

• Oral health education.
• Advice about teeth cleaning and choosing oral hygiene products.
• Advice about diet and nutrition.
• Help with giving up smoking.
• Services, such as fissure sealant and fluoride varnish.
• Our hygienist also plays a very important role in the prevention, management, and treatment of gum disease, the most common cause of adult tooth loss in the UK.

Oral health education and advice

We firmly believe that prevention is always better than cure and we are always on hand to offer advice about teeth cleaning and flossing. As well as explaining and demonstrating brushing techniques, we can offer advice about choosing oral hygiene products, healthy eating and giving up smoking.

Fresh breath treatment

Many people are very often conscious and even embarrassed that they have ‘Bad Breath’. The truth is…most people get bad breath sometime and are in need of a bad breath treatment. Factors like acid reflux, heart burn, diabetes, antibiotics and even low carbohydrate diets can exacerbate this and make the bad breath worse.

The cause of bad breath is very often multifactorial. But these causes can strongly include dental problems such as poor oral hygiene, periodontal (gum) disease and dry mouth.

At the Cosmetic Dental Clinic, our skilled Dentists work in conjunction with our specially trained Hygienists in order to diagnose and determine contributing factors of dental origin. Once diagnosed these factors can be combated via a combination of therapies including Ultrasonic scale and polishing, Oral hygiene advice, Dietary and Nutritional advice all tailored to the individual client and their diagnosis.

Our take home/ maintenance products include the latest systems developed in the USA. This currently includes the Breath RX® Fresh Breath System developed by the world famous Dr. Bill Dorfman.
