We have a dedicated and enthusiastic team of hygienists working within our practice, and the service that they provide is an essential part of the care that you will receive at the High Street Dental Practice.

​

Key Benefits of visiting the hygienist:

​

• Professional cleaning of your teeth by removing hard and soft bacterial deposits that can cause bad breath and gum disease.

• Individually tailored instruction to help you achieve and maintain a healthy mouth.

• Advice on the use of cleaning aids such as floss and brushes that clean the gaps between the teeth.

• Advice on your diet and exposure to sugar to prevent tooth decay.

• Advice on fluoride applications and mouthwashes to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

• Advice on smoking cessation to improve the health of your gums.

​

Note - We do not offer direct access to our hygienists.

This means that our patients must have a written prescription or treatment plan from our dentist who has examined and referred the patient in the last 12 months of booking.
