Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for overall health. Dental hygiene therapy helps prevent gum disease, tooth decay and other oral health issues, reducing the risk of more serious complications in the future.
The frequency of dental hygiene therapy appointments varies depending on individual needs. In general, we recommend booking a professional clean and health check every six months to maintain optimal oral health. However, some patients may require more frequent visits based on their specific needs.
No, hygiene therapy is typically not painful. Our skilled hygienists take great care to ensure patient comfort throughout the treatment. If you experience any discomfort, please do not hesitate to communicate with our team and we will make adjustments to ensure your comfort.
In addition to regular dental hygiene appointments, it is essential to maintain a consistent oral hygiene routine at home. This includes brushing your teeth at least twice a day and regular interdental cleaning, such as floss as recommended by your dentist. Additionally, following a balanced diet and avoiding regular sugary snacks can help prevent dental issues.
