Dental Hygienist Treatments

Dental Hygienic Treatments

You brush and floss at home after every meal. You use a quality mouth rinse. And you keep up with your routine check-up’s. These types of oral health care steps can go a long way to helping you keep your mouth clean and healthy. An appointment with a dental hygienist can take your good oral hygiene just one extra step further.
Good oral hygiene involves treating the whole mouth for any of the dental complications that may arise. Brushing and flossing will remove plaque from your teeth, but they cannot remove the stuck-on tartar that forms both above and below the gum line. Your dental hygienist uses specialised dental tools to remove that stubborn tartar.

What are dental hygienic treatments?

Get results you love

When you have an appointment with a dental hygienist you can look at it as being a deep clean for your teeth and your gums. Tooth decay is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in Ireland. Working with your dentist and your dental hygienist you’ll be able to keep your teeth and gums healthy between full check-up’s.

During a dental hygienic treatment, you’ll get a scale and polish. What this means is that any built-up tartar on your teeth will be removed. This build up cannot be removed easily with brushing and flossing alone. Scaling removes it from above the gum line and also from below the gum line. Polishing is used to remove superficial discoloration and also making sure that the tooth surface is nice and smooth. Your dental hygienist will polish each of your teeth so that they are clean and looking their best.

What are dental hygienic treatments used to treat?

Gum disease treatment is one of the primary reasons that patients should keep up with their good oral hygiene and their dental hygienic treatments. Pockets of infection can form beneath the gum line and lead to excessive dental decay. They can also lead to additional medical complications for patients.
Routing cleaning appointments will help to keep your teeth clean and your gums healthy.

What are the treatment options?

It can be tempting to skip your appointments with your dental hygienist and pursue other cleaning options. This is not advisable for a number of reasons. Brushing and flossing are a very important part of your good oral hygiene, but they cannot remove that stuck on tartar that can lead to decay and further infection in your gums.

  • Remove surface stains
  • Reduce the potential
  • Clean teeth
  • Clean gums
  • Remove plaque from teeth

There may be over-the-counter solutions for cleaning teeth but it’s important to remember that your in-office appointment also gives your dentist the opportunity to gauge your overall oral health prior to your cleaning.

What happens during a dental hygienic treatment?

-dublin

Prior to starting the actual cleaning portion of the treatment, your dentist will perform an examination of your mouth. This is just a quick precautionary check-up to ensure that your teeth and gums are free from gingivitis and other signs of infection and decay.
An ultrasonic scaler will then be used to remove plaque and tartar that has been allow to accumulate around the gum line. Tartar between the teeth will also be targeted and removed.
After the scaling has been completed, we will polish the teeth with a prophyflex device (a polish powder in combination with high water pressure provided by this appliance will be blown on the tooth) or a special tooth paste using a motorised soft rubber cup. Professional cleanings use toothpaste that smells and tastes like regular toothpaste, however it has a gritty consistency that gently scrubs your teeth.
You can now rinse out any leftover debris and toothpaste.
Patients should feel little to no discomfort. There is sometimes a bit of scraping heard and felt, but it will past quickly as the dental hygienist moves to clean your teeth. If you do feel some sensitivity during the cleaning process your dentist can use a numbing agent on your gums in order to reduce some of that discomfort.

    I was always very conscious of my teeth, never showed them on pictures. It was the best decision of my life to get braces at Crown Dental. I can honestly say it changed my life. I can't stop smiling, it boosted my confidence, I feel like a different person. Thank you dr. Laura for changing my life.

  • Getting an Invisalign treatment done here. Erika and her assistant are extremely nice people, not once did I ever feel pressured into forking out lots of money like at other dentists. I would 100% recommend family and friends to at least have a check up here and you'll see that it's a positive and professional experience all round.

    I was always scared of the dentist, but not anymore. I received my crowns at Crown Dental, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The treatment was pain free, the team made me at ease during the process. I can't stop smiling and showing my perfect teeth.

  • Great dentists and friendly staff! I had bone augmentation, 2 implants and 3 crowns done. The whole process took about a year due to the complexity but it certainly was worth it. I am delighted with the results and will happily recommend the clinic to my friends and family.

    The injection doctor was very patient and very nice. These two stars are for the doctor's attitude. Otherwise, I would give negative stars. The lip injection was not that painful, was acceptable,but I was not satisfied with the shape of my lips. Also the lower lip should be thicker than the upper lip, but my lower lip is very thin compared to my upper lip. According to what I asked, they only used With a 0.6-0.7ml lip filler, shouldn’t we make the best use of all 1ml? The price I purchased is also 1ml. Moreover, I could ask in advance and tell me to use the coupon they gave me, but in the end I was not allowed to use it even after I checked it out, which made my mood worse today and my desire to patronize again in the future.
