There has been a proven correlation between the health of\nyour mouth and other health concerns of the body as a whole, such as associations\nbetween oral diseases and more severe health concerns such as heart disease,\nwhich is why it is so vital for teeth and gums to stay healthy. Tooth decay is\nin fact the most common disease within the developed world, however it is\neasily preventable! In addition to tooth decay, gingivitis is also common and\nwhen left untreated, due to a build-up of plaque, can develop into periodontal\ndisease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to prevent the loss of teeth from within the mouth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Periodontal disease is unfortunately extremely common and\ncauses the loss of teeth from within the mouth! Periodontal diseases can occur\ndue to the accumulation of oral bacteria which can develop into plaque and can\ntherefore be prevented by vigorous brushing, and frequent visits to our clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can we help?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our dental team is fully equipped to offer sound hygiene\nadvice to all of our patients, tailor making our dental hygiene plans for each\nindividual dental case. As a general rule we suggest our patients visit our\nclinic every six months for a deep clean, however some of our patients may be\ntold to visit more frequently). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to expect<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of our patients (especially those who experience anxiety within a dental environment) may feel more comfortable knowing what to expect from a dental hygiene appointment. After we have given your mouth an oral assessment and checked for any signs of dental decay we can start with your cleaning treatment! Many patients may not require a scale and polish however it is extremely common, and only takes a few minutes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a scale and polish?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A scale and polish strives to remove the hard calculus on\nthe surface of the teeth by using a combination of special dental brushes and\npastes to clean the gum line, finishing off with a polish to result in a cleaner\nand healthier smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helping you take care of your teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dental hygiene appointment not only consists of an oral\nexamination and a cleaning scale and polish, however it also consists of advice\non how to take care of your smile in the comfort of your own home. Despite\ncommon misconception, talk on dental hygiene in Wimbledon<\/strong> is not just about brushing and\nflossing, but may also consist of special interdental brushes and fluoride\ntoothpastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our dental specialists will not only suggest the correct\nbrushes and pastes to use and the most effective way to brush your teeth, but\nwe will also tailor your hygiene plan to you, which will be dependent on your\ndental case, thinking about things such as implants, bridges, or dentures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
