Hygienist

Hygienist appointments are vital for protecting your gum health, and for removing tooth-staining plaque and tartar from your gum line.

Preventive hygienist treatment for healthy gums

Regular hygienist appointments should be a part of any healthy oral health routine. Your hygienist is a gatekeeper for your gums, ensuring they stay free from gum disease.
We use the latest techniques and equipment to remove plaque (harmful bacteria) from your gum line. We have ample experience treating nervous patients – we believe in putting you in control every step of the way. We’ll go entirely at your pace, and we use gentle cleaning methods to banish the plaque from your gum line.

Personalised gum health care for you

Every aspect of your hygienist appointment is tailored to you.

Your hygienist will give you advice designed to improve aspects such as:

• Your Diet: Helps you choose food that is lower in sugar to prevent the formation of plaque.
• Your Brushing and Flossing: helping you improve your brushing and flossing technique so you can remove plaque buildup swiftly after eating.
• Help you alter certain lifestyle choices known to cause gum disease (smoking, dry mouth, alcohol).

A deeper clean with Airflow polishing

We offer a supplementary type of tooth cleaning, suitable for patients with significant plaque build-up along their gum line.

Airflow is an innovative cleaning system that uses compressed air, powder particles and water to remove every last bit of plaque in your mouth.

Patients who can benefit from Airflow include:

• Smokers.
• Patients with heavy plaque or tartar along their gum line.
• Patients suffering from halitosis (bad breath).
• Patients who haven’t been to the hygienist in some years.

Periodontal treatment at The Beresford Clinic

For patients suffering from advanced gum disease (clinically known as periodontal disease), we can arrange treatment to reverse the symptoms and stabilise the condition.

This may involve:

• Deep cleaning treatment underneath the gums to remove plaque and tartar.
• Carrying out gum graft surgery to reattach gum tissue that has been eroded by gum disease.
• Addressing teeth that have become loose.

We work with trusted periodontal dentists who will carry out a thorough assessment and provide the treatment you need to have a healthy mouth again.
