Hygienist Services in Croydon

We know how much patients enjoy a cup of tea, coffee or a glass of wine but we also know that this can cause unwanted staining on your teeth. These stubborn stains can’t be removed at home with normal tooth brushing, so our Hygienists here in East Croydon are here to help you.

We have highly skilled Dental Hygienists here at Smile Dental Practice near East Croydon, who will be able to perform stain removal and teeth cleaning using an ultrasonic scaler. Or for those of you with tougher stains, we have air flow cleaning which may be more suitable.

Our Hygienist sessions are not only just for removing dental stains but they’re also on hand to educate you on how to improve your oral health and reduce the chance of stains and plaque building up again.

If you see our Dental hygienist in Croydon regularly, you may only need one session in order to achieve a healthy mouth. However, if you’ve left it a bit longer and/or are suffering with bleeding gums, you may need additional sessions. Don’t worry, our Dental Hygienists will provide you with the best care and provide you with a plan during your visit.

During your first appointment with one of our Hygienists, they will ask you about your teeth cleaning techniques, which inter-dental cleaning you do and which type of toothbrush you use etc. Using this information, they will be able to help you achieve better oral hygiene and health (if needed of course). After this, you will be given a full mouth clean with a polish at the end. Some patients who require a lot of teeth and mouth cleaning may need more than 1 session and the Dental Hygienist or Dentist is usually able to inform you of this at your appointment.

If your gums bleed when you brush, you may want to book yourself in an appointment with the Hygienist! A deep clean may be required to help get your gums healthy again along with good cleaning at home. Bleeding gums that are left untreated may lead to loose teeth and that’s a scary thought but rather than ignore it, call our Dental team to get some advice.  Gum disease that is left untreated can go on to Periodontal disease. Recent research shows the connection between Periodontal disease, heart disease, diabetes and stroke. If you see our Dental Hygienist at our Dental Practice in Croydon, they may recommend you seeing our Periodontal specialist for further treatment.

We have had many patients here at Smile Dental Practice, Croydon who have extremely healthy teeth but very unhealthy gums and this is something we see often. Our Dentists and Dental Hygienists will help you to achieve a healthy mouth and better your oral hygiene preventing any future problems.
