Dental Hygiene

Oral health education and cleaning to keep your smile healthy

Maintaining healthy teeth and gums is extremely important, and, in addition to regular checks with our dentists, we also recommend that you visit our hygienist at our Y Bont Faen dental centre on a regular basis to help you keep them in good condition.

Our dental hygienist offers a number of services that will complement your own personal care and help keep your gum and tooth care firmly on track.

A key role of our hygiene team at Y Bont Faen Dental Centre is in the prevention of gum disease. This is an important foundation for a healthy mouth, but is something that is sometimes not fully appreciated by patients. With gum disease being the leading cause of tooth loss in the UK, it’s vital that we all appreciate just how devastating it can be and how to keep it at bay.

Our hygienist will offer advice on how to clean your teeth in the most efficient way possible, including how to floss between the teeth or use an inter-dental brush as an alternative. Doing so plays a large part in the prevention of gum disease, as bacteria build up often starts between the teeth where a brush can’t reach effectively.
Our hygienist will also discuss lifestyle choices, such as smoking, drinking and diet as well as how any illnesses that you may have, such as diabetes, can impact upon your oral health and how to keep risks to a minimum. We believe in the power of education to improve our offering and to incentivise our community and their families to build healthier, happier lives for themselves and those around them.

In order to remove any tartar (hardened bacteria) from the teeth and gum line, our hygienist will perform a thorough, professional clean, also known as a ‘scale and polish’. This removes the bacteria from areas that home brushing often misses.

A thorough clean with our hygienist, in conjunction with diligent personal care, will help to prevent gum disease, remove surface staining from your teeth and leave your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
