Professional dental hygienist services at Bow Lane Dental in London for cleaner, healthier teeth and gums.
Good dental hygiene is an important part of maintaining healthy teeth & gums and a great looking smile.
Regular dental hygienist appointments should form part of your dental treatments to help prevent problems that you won’t be able to spot yourself such as the build up of calculus, gum disease, dental cavities or even mouth cancer.
The Dental hygienist at Bow Lane Dental
The dental hygienist has a key role to play in total oral care. Our dental hygienists are skilled professionals specifically trained in spotting problems early on, maintaining restorations such as bridges, crowns & fillings, cleaning your teeth & gums to prevent tooth decay and provide ongoing dental hygiene advice.
Dental hygienists services
At Bow Lane Dental in central London (EC4) we provide a team of specially trained dental hygienists who work tirelessly to maintain our patients teeth and gums using three key stages:
Dental hygiene examination
Our dental hygienist will carefully examine and chart your teeth and gums noting any inflammation, swelling, bleeding and the presence of plaque and calculus.
Scaling & polishing
Your dental hygienist will then use special tools to remove the build up of plaque and calculus, especially in those areas which you can’t get to using everyday methods. Once this has been removed we then use the latest air polishing system which fires a jet of compressed air, water and fine sodium bicarbonate particles at your teeth to polish the surface and remove debris. This cleans your teeth thoroughly, removing any superficial stains giving you an instantly whiter smile without bleaching.
Dental hygiene plan
Finally your dental hygienist will provide you with advice and techniques to enable you to improve your own oral hygiene between dental hygienist visits and advise you on any special products which may be of benefit to you to maintain great dental hygiene and lovely fresh breath.
