Dental Hygiene

Dental hygiene is the preventative maintenance of brushing and flossing your teeth.

Make protecting your gum health a priority.

Your dental care efforts should also be supported by regular visits to your dental hygienist at Seaside Dental Practice. Your hygienist will provide excellent care that thoroughly cleans your teeth, removing plaque and ensuring your gums remain as healthy as possible. This is performed using hand scaling equipment, which your hygienist uses thoroughly and gently on your teeth and gum line.

After a professional hygienist cleans, your teeth will be free from unsightly biofilm staining. Your teeth will also feel smoother and look polished.

Supporting you with your oral health routine

During your hygienist visits, we can also help you to better your oral health routine. The type of advice we can offer includes:

• How to lower your risk factors for gum disease.
• How to quit smoking.
• How to develop more efficient brushing and flossing techniques.
• How to replace high-sugar food and drink with gum-healthy types.

Airflow® tooth polishing for a deeper clean

The Airflow® tooth polishing system is an additional clean you can choose to have during hygienist visits and prior to teeth whitening treatment. We recommend this mode of cleaning to patients which significant plaque and tartar buildup and who have been struggling with bad breath, as it removes almost all of the biofilm in your mouth.
