Hygiene Therapy

At Hilsea Dental Clinic, our hygiene therapy services are designed to not only maintain your oral health but also to prevent future dental issues. Our highly trained dental hygienists are committed to helping you achieve and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile through comprehensive and personalized care.

What Is Hygiene Therapy?

Hygiene therapy is a preventive dental treatment aimed at keeping your teeth and gums healthy. It involves a thorough cleaning of your teeth and gums, known as scaling and polishing, to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains. Regular hygiene therapy is essential for preventing gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health problems.

Benefits of Hygiene Therapy

  1. Prevention of Gum Disease: Regular hygiene therapy helps prevent gingivitis and periodontal disease by removing plaque and tartar that can irritate the gums.
  2. Fresher Breath: By eliminating the bacteria that cause bad breath, hygiene therapy can keep your breath fresh.
  3. Enhanced Oral Health: Professional cleaning helps to maintain the health of your teeth and gums, reducing the risk of cavities and other dental issues.
  4. Improved Aesthetics: Regular cleaning and polishing can remove surface stains from your teeth, helping to brighten your smile.
  5. Overall Health Benefits: Good oral hygiene is linked to better overall health, reducing the risk of systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes.

What to Expect During Hygiene Therapy

When you visit Hilsea Dental Clinic for hygiene therapy, you can expect a comfortable and thorough treatment process:

  • Assessment: Your appointment will begin with an assessment of your oral health. The hygienist will check your teeth and gums for any signs of disease or other issues.
  • Scaling and Polishing: The hygienist will then use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, both above and below the gum line. This process helps prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
  • Personalized Advice: After cleaning, your hygienist will provide you with personalized advice on how to maintain your oral hygiene at home. This may include tips on brushing, flossing, and using interdental brushes or mouthwash.

The Importance of Regular Visits

To maintain optimal oral health, it’s recommended to have hygiene therapy sessions every six months. However, the frequency may vary depending on your specific needs. Regular visits allow our hygienists to monitor your oral health closely, catching any potential issues early before they become more serious.
