Elevating Wellness, Crafting Smiles
0800 282 569We are only given one set of adult teeth for life, it is important we look after it. Brushing and flossing is not enough, regular visits to your dentist and hygienists for teeth scaling and oral health education are necessary to maintain a good oral health.
Bacteria, tartar and plaque can build up and hide beneath the gums where we can’t reach. This build up can harden and irritate your gums, causing gum disease.
Your hygienist can also help you choose the best oral care products based on their assessment.
Keeping your oral hygiene up to standard means better breath, better oral health, less dental complications and a beautiful smile all year round.
It is recommended to visit your dental hygienist at least twice a year.
Teeth cleaning, often referred to as dental hygiene, is a fundamental process aimed at the meticulous removal of plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums. This essential procedure serves to prevent the development of cavities and gum disease.
Your smile is often the first thing people notice about you, and clean, healthy teeth play a pivotal role in making a positive impression. Beyond aesthetics, teeth cleaning is vital for several reasons:
Regular teeth cleaning removes plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that accumulates on your teeth. If not addressed, plaque can lead to tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease.
Oral hygiene is closely tied to fresh breath. Proper teeth cleaning eliminates odor-causing bacteria, ensuring your breath stays minty fresh.
Gingivitis and periodontitis can be painful and lead to tooth loss. Teeth cleaning prevents these conditions by removing harmful bacteria and tartar buildup.
Brushing your teeth is the foundation of good oral hygiene. Make sure to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Brush for at least two minutes, ensuring you reach every tooth surface.
Flossing is crucial for removing food particles and plaque from between your teeth and along the gumline. Use dental floss or interdental brushes to clean those hard-to-reach areas.
An antimicrobial or fluoride mouthwash can be a valuable addition to your teeth cleaning routine. It helps kill bacteria and strengthen your teeth.
Regular visits to your dentist for professional cleanings are essential. Dental professionals use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing might miss.
Ultrasonic dental cleaning is a cutting-edge dental hygiene technique that employs ultrasonic scalers to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth. This technology utilizes high-frequency vibrations to dislodge and break down these deposits, making the cleaning process highly effective and efficient.
Ultrasonic dental cleaning is recommended in several scenarios:
If you have a substantial amount of tartar or stains on your teeth that require removal, ultrasonic cleaning is a suitable option.
Gum Disease Treatment
For individuals with advanced gum disease, ultrasonic cleaning, in combination with other treatments, can help alleviate the condition.
Ultrasonic cleaning is often preferred for those with sensitive teeth, as it's a gentler process compared to traditional manual scaling.
In some dental practices, ultrasonic cleaning is the preferred method for routine cleanings due to its efficiency and precision.

I don't usually place reviews unless I feel the need to.
I took my daughter here today for her first consultation for braces and oh my goodness. What an awesome team!
They made my daughter (who was naturally a little nervous) feel so relaxed (..and not to mention made my little one happy by making small talk with her)
Can't wait to start with my daughters braces treatment. Affordable treatment plans, good location, great parking and a very friendly team.
Keep up the good work! Highly recommended to all.

The entire experience I had with the team from booking through to consult was fantastic...
Have you ever been to the dentist and feel you aren't being given all the information you need to make an informed decision about how to proceed moving forward? I have. BUT this is a dental practice you can trust.
He walked me through the options step by step, risk assessing each and really helped me decide on what was best for me.
I cannot rate these guys enough... Incredible dental practice. Thanks very much!
