Professional teeth cleaning, also known as a hygienist appointment or a scale and polish is the removal of stains, bacteria, plaque, and tartar from teeth. Keeping teeth clean is essential in maintaining good oral hygiene and dental health and can also make teeth appear brighter and whiter.

Preventative Dentistry

A hygienist is a registered dental health care professional who is specially trained in preventative dental care. Think of the hygienist as the “personal trainer” of dentistry. Not only will your teeth and mouth be cleaned of harmful bacteria helping prevent future dental problems. A hygienist is also there to give you individual advice on the best way to look after your teeth. **Find out more about preventative dentistry. **

What happens in a Hygienist appointment?

Many patients that come to us at the Brighton Implant clinic have dental phobias; one of the biggest misconceptions that people fear at the dentist is of course – pain. A hygienist appointment is a non-invasive procedure; it is a deep clean using things such as ultrasonic tools which use vibrations to remove plaque and tartar (filled with bacteria) as well as prophylaxis paste, which is a blend of polishing and cleaning agents. ** Find out more about what happens in a Hygienist appointment.**

Why is it important to have your teeth professional cleaned?

Many people maintain a good dental health routine, such as brushing at least twice a day, flossing, mouthwash and more. However, even those with an exceptional dental health routine will still need at some point, a professional clean. This is because we have hundreds and thousands of bacteria living in our mouths, some good and some bad and sometimes simply brushing and flossing is not enough to kill all the bad bacteria in our mouths.

How is Oral health linked to your overall health?

Oral health has a direct impact to your overall health. NHS studies have proven that poor oral health can increase the risk of:

• Heart Attack.
• Heart Disease.
• Stroke.
• Diabetes.

As well as cause:

• Infections.
• A weakened Immune System.

What does poor oral hygiene do to your dental health?

If you do not maintain good oral hygiene and regularly see a hygienist you could develop gingivitis (mild gum disease), periodontitis (severe gum disease), tooth decay, cavities and more. All of these conditions will not only have adverse effects to your health they will all ultimately lead to tooth loss if not treated.
