Why Is Gum Health So Important?
Your gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Many adults have some form of gum disease, often without realising it. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to bleeding gums, bad breath, and even tooth loss. That’s why regular hygiene appointments are essential.
Comprehensive Gum Disease Screening & Treatment
During your hygiene visit, we will:
✔️ Check for signs of gum disease – Early detection helps prevent serious problems.
✔️ Provide tailored treatment – Some patients need simple cleaning, while others may require deeper periodontal therapy.
✔️ Offer personalised advice – We’ll show you the best techniques to keep your gums healthy at home.
For more advanced gum disease, our dentists may become involved in your treatment plan.
Preventing Tooth Decay
Our Dental Hygiene Therapists also focus on preventing dental decay, offering:
✔️ Fluoride treatments – Strengthening teeth and protecting against cavities.
✔️ Fissure sealants – A protective coating to help prevent decay in deep grooves of the teeth.
