Dental hygiene appointments are vital for preventing gum disease-related symptoms, including tooth loss.
Regular scale and polish sessions with your hygienist are minimally-invasive and an investment into the long-term future of your oral health. They can also ensure your teeth look stain-free and, therefore, natural-looking.
Our hygienist team can help you by:
- Checking for symptoms of gum disease.
- Helping to prevent bleeding gums and halitosis (bad breath).
- Offering advice on your at-home routine.
- Provide support for reducing your risk of oral cancer.
- Helping to identify your risk factors for gum disease.
Personalised care in a non-judgemental environment
We want our patients to feel relaxed during their hygienist appointments. Our hygienists will treat you with nothing but the utmost respect, and there’s absolutely nothing to worry about if it’s been a while since your last appointment. We are here to get your oral health back on track and to help you use the most efficient methods to care for your gums.
A deeper clean: Airflow® polishing at Knighton Dental
Airflow® tooth polishing is a deep clean that removes virtually all the tough staining along your gum line. It is recommended for patients with considerable plaque and tartar buildup and who have excess staining in-between their teeth.
Airflow® is a gentle polishing method that not only leaves your teeth looking and feeling polished but with fresher breath too. It’s also a gentle process using water, compressed air, and powder particles, making it suitable for patients with tooth sensitivity.
