Prevention is always better than cure. A dental hygienist will encourage patients to look after their teeth and promote a regular hygiene routine to prevent tooth decay. If it does happen where a patient requires a tooth filling the dental hygienist in Twickenham will remove decay from the tooth, remove the metal or amalgam filling and fill in the tooth with a natural “white” tooth coloured filling.

The new filling is made from a harder substance that can endure the motions within the mouth as one bites and chews over time. It is better aesthetically pleasing as its white colour has a better appearance than a metallic silvery glint allowing a more natural smile.

A dental hygienist specialises in the care and hygiene of teeth such as scaling teeth, sometimes using a local anaesthetic, polishing teeth, and applying topical fluoride and fissure sealants. They help patients prevent and treat gum disease and problems that arise from gum disease. Dental hygienists receive extra training and can operate independently in a dental practice.

“Our team of dental hygienists can assist those who have had major surgery or complex orthodontic treatment or specific medical conditions. They advise patients on dental health nutrition, specialise in preventative dentistry, pathology and dental care for patients,” said Neeru Korpal, Owner of EyeSmile.

When using dentures for the first time the dental hygienist will provide all information on how to take care of the dentures to avoid bad breath, tooth decay and gum disease. A dental hygienist will perform hygiene treatments to remove plaque buildup on areas of the teeth. They will professionally clean teeth with specialised top-range equipment and pastes for scaling and polishing.

One of the most important roles of a dental hygienist in Twickenham is to advise patients on the best brushing technique to prevent over or under brushing and provide tips on the correct way of flossing and the use of interdental brushes.

At any dental practice, particular emphasis is placed on hygiene as it forms part of dental care to treat gum disease and bad breath. They will assist patients who have bridges, dentures, undergoing orthodontic treatment or dental implants and provide the best advice to manage specific hygiene needs for patients.

Dental hygienists teach patients how to best take care of their teeth and prevent or reduce the risk of expensive treatments. Good dental hygiene helps to prevent cavities, enamel wear, gum disease and bad breath. Routine dental hygiene such as daily brushing and flossing of teeth can be done at home, but a dental hygienist can identify a potential problem and help prevent further problems and preserve teeth.
