Dental hygiene, the cornerstone
Dental hygiene is the cornerstone of good oral health. Our hygienists in Waterlooville and Chichester offer personal advice and professional cleaning.
Why see a dental hygienist?
Dental hygiene is the cornerstone of good oral health and without it your mouth would soon become susceptible to disease and decay. We offer personal advice to all our clients on the best ways to maintain good dental health.
It is also a good idea to have a professional hygiene session at the dentist at least once every 6 months. A professional cleaning provided by a trained dental hygienist will remove plaque, food deposits and tooth discolouration.
Who is it for?
- Twice daily teeth brushing for at least two minutes
- Fluoride toothpaste to strengthen the teeth
- Using mouthwash twice a day to cleanse the mouth
- Using dental floss to clean hard to reach areas
- Professional hygienist visits
