Dental Hygiene

Did you know that long-term plaque build-up (and subsequent gum disease which happens when the bacteria in the plaque attacks our gums below the surface to make them red and inflamed) is one of the most common causes of tooth decay and eventual tooth loss in the UK?

That's why, at Mint Dental Care, we recommend dental hygiene appointments at least every six months with one of our friendly and professional hygienists. Playing an important part in reducing your oral health problems, your dental hygiene appointment will include the following:

• A gentle yet thorough clean of your teeth to remove the build-up of harmful plaque
• Removal of odour causing bacteria for a fresh breath
• Air polish to remove any light stains for a sparkling clean smile
• Soft tissue checks to ensure healthy gums
• Advice on how to effectively brush and floss your teeth

Our dental hygienist is available every Tuesday morning at Mint Dental Care - we are therefore able to offer same day check-up and hygiene appointments for the convenience of our patients on Tuesdays (from 9am to 5pm).

Our dental hygienist is registered with the General Dental Council and is committed to her Continuous Professional Development by keeping up to date with the latest advancements in oral health care techniques.
