Your hygienist
What Does a Dental Hygienist Do?
A dental hygienist will educate you on how to maintain a healthy smile, ensuring you follow a good oral health routine and know how to clean your teeth properly.
They also provide professional cleaning using the latest polishes and pastes to remove the build-up of tartar and plaque. Brushing correctly is important, but it cannot remove these deposits alone.
This is why it is helpful to see a dental hygienist every six months, so you can maintain a cleaner, healthier and more confident smile.

Halitosis
Halitosis: Bad Breath
If you experience bad breath, it is worth mentioning this to your dental hygienist. There is nothing to be worried or embarrassed about. Many people experience this issue.
Chronic bad breath is known as halitosis. Your dental hygienist can give you the knowledge and tools to help manage the condition.
Bad breath can be linked to bacteria on the tongue and throat. It can also be affected by dry mouth, sinusitis, tooth decay, gum disease, food trapping and poor oral hygiene.
Treatment may include daily tongue cleaning, mouthwash, regular dental check-ups and a professional scale and polish.
Why it matters
Do You Really Need to See a Dental Hygienist?
A lot of people assume that seeing a dental hygienist is unnecessary because they brush their teeth twice a day. While brushing is essential, it is not always enough.
Only a dental hygienist can effectively remove the build-up of plaque and tartar. If this is not treated, plaque can damage your gums and teeth over time.
Seeing a dental hygienist is also important for helping to prevent gum disease. Your hygienist may also spot issues such as fractures or broken fillings, so they can be checked before they get worse.
Poor oral health has been linked with wider health issues, including stroke, heart attacks, rheumatoid arthritis, kidney disease, diabetes, dementia, respiratory infections, pregnancy complications and cardiovascular disease.
