Dental Hygiene
in Hendon

1. Your teeth and gums will be assessed to determine the amount of plaque removal you will need and risk factors will be highlighted.
2. Your teeth will be professionally cleaned with special equipment and pastes. This process is also known as scaling and polishing.
3. The hygienist's role is to show you how to look after your teeth so that they remain free from plaque in the future. You will be advised on the best tooth brushing technique and given tips on flossing and using interdental brushes.

Dental hygiene at our practice also functions preventatively to treat gum disease and bad breath. If you have a bridge, denture, orthodontic treatment or a dental implant you will have specific hygiene needs that the hygienist will be able to assist you with.

It is recommended that you come in for regular hygiene appointments to ensure your mouth stays clean and healthy.
