At Alban City Dental, we’re on a mission to build happy, healthy smiles wherever we can, and that starts with proper dental hygiene and oral care. A happy smile starts at home with a good oral care routine and includes regular dental examinations with us. Here as well as frequent trips to see our dental hygienist team – we recommend going every six months to ensure your oral hygiene is in tip-top condition.
Good oral health and hygiene are linked to good overall health.
Conditions such as heart disease and Alzheimer’s are increasingly shown to be linked to oral health and the presence of bacteria. It means dental hygiene and preventative care could not be more important.
Gum disease is the most common disease in Europe.
Not only is gum disease linked to chronic conditions elsewhere in the body, but it’s also the most commonly experienced disease in Europe. Luckily, it’s also easy to prevent and detect with regular dental examinations and dental hygiene appointments.
Gum disease is caused by untreated bacterial infections.
This bacterial infection causes inflammation in the gums and can go on to cause bleeding gums, bad breath, and for the gums to change colour to a purplish or dusky red colour.
Our highly skilled hygienists will carry out a full check and overview of your mouth. We’ll assess the condition of the gums before then providing a completely comprehensive cleaning. At Alban City Dental, we use Airflow® Tooth Polishing to gently and effectively remove plaque, tartar, debris, and superficial staining from the teeth. Super kind to the mouth, this comprehensive yet gentle cleaning method can be used on restorations, orthodontics, as well as patients of all ages, from children to the elderly.
Our dental hygiene team can develop tailored at-home routines for all our patients, but we always recommend the following:
Your teeth will look and feel better and fresher than ever after a dental hygienist appointment. But, if you’re looking for a truly bright white smile, we always recommend dentist-approved teeth whitening treatments.
