Hygiene Therapy
Our aim is to improve the long-term dental wellbeing of our patients. The health of your mouth, teeth and gums is vitally important, as the better the condition of your mouth, the better your general health. We understand that everyone wants their dentist to give them a clean bill of health and our mission is to achieve just that through a combination of superb dental care, expert advice and education.
Our hygienists Dawn Cleverley, Vicky Kilvert, Trudy Ellcock-Brown and Kathy Wright will help keep your mouth spotlessly clean and your gums healthy. They will remove bacterial plaque and calculus that collects around your teeth, and will help you to improve and maintain a clean and healthy mouth, ridding you of the plaque that causes tooth decay, bad breath and gum disease, leading eventually to tooth loss. They will teach you how improve your oral health routine at home.
During your examinations we carefully consider so much more than just your teeth. We also encourage healthy eating, offer smoking cessation tips and give diet advice.
Regular visits will help keep your mouth in great shape, prevent bad breath and provide life-saving early detection of mouth cancer, which kills one person every five hours in the UK and is diagnosed in more than 5,000 people each year.
