What’s involved in a dental hygiene appointment?
We work as a team to make sure your smile stays healthy for as long as possible through removing any build-up of plaque, conducting comprehensive oral examinations which screen for oral cancer and gum disease, and providing you with the knowledge you need to maintain a sensible oral health regime at home.
Our Chelmsford hygienists can even discuss diet and smoking cessation with you as a means to keep your smile fresh.
A deeper clean with a professional Scale and Polish
The Brickfields Dental hygienists are experts at providing a deeper clean of your teeth through professional scale and polish treatment. A scale and polish involves an intensive and thorough clean of your teeth to support your oral health, and an appointment usually lasts between 30-60 minutes!
Firstly, by using specially designed dental instruments, your hygienist will make sure to remove all deposits of stubborn plaque, tartar and harmful bacteria from deep under the gum line and in-between hard to reach areas of your teeth. After this, the hygienist will polish and clean your teeth to a fresh, smooth and glossy lustre.
Scale and polish treatments are not usually painful procedures, however, do let us know if you suffer from sensitivity and we will accommodate your needs accordingly.
We are your partners in superb oral health
After your regular dental hygiene appointment, you can maintain this fresh feeling for longer with an appropriate at-home oral hygiene routine.
We can provide you with the information you need to form a teeth-cleaning routine suitable for the family that ensures you’re doing what you can between hygiene appointments to keep cavities and gum disease at bay. Flossing and brushing your teeth twice a day should be top priorities!
