Hygiene treatment
Here at Swakeleys Dental Practice we are dedicated and committed to a high level and standard of care, especially for oral hygiene. Oral hygiene is the key to long term success of dental treatment and plays a major role in all of our treatment planning. Many of you may ask why this is. Here at Swakeleys we believe dental work is an art. You could perhaps say the gums are like a blank canvas. So before we create our masterpiece the gums must be healthy as they are the foundations. If the foundations are not strong and solid the treatment may fail.
Many of you have visited a dental hygienist in the past and may be wondering what to expect during a visit here at Swakeleys. No patient is the same and each patient is individually assessed and specific recommendations and advice given to improve certain areas that the dental hygienist thinks necessary. This advice could be in the form of oral hygiene advice, dietary advice, smoking cessation etc. What else can be expected during your visit? The dental Hygienist will thoroughly and professionally clean your teeth and gums removing deposits such as plaque bacteria and calculus.
Last but not least, prevention: we like to anticipate problems before they happen so by attending routine examinations and regular Hygiene visits will help you to maintain a healthy mouth. Regular intervention prevents thus potential problems saving time inconvenience and unnecessary expense.
