With more adult teeth being lost due to gum disease rather than tooth decay, regular dental hygiene treatment is essential to keeping your gums and teeth healthy. Your hygienist can:

• Carry out a thorough scaling of your teeth to remove any plaque or tartar build-up in those areas brushing cannot reach
• Perform a clean and polish to remove any superficial stains on your teeth
• Offer tailored advice on how to maintain good dental health and demonstrate techniques you can use at home
