Treatment for gum disease is effective when the condition is detected early. When gum diseases advance to the later stages, severe bleeding, painful gums, bad breath and loss of teeth may occur. Your dental hygienist can treat gum disease and inform you how to prevent it at home.
Bad breath, also called halitosis, occurs from an underlying dental issue. The odour results from the plaque or bacteria formed around the teeth or under the gumline. The dental hygienist can offer treatment if your bad breath results from plaque or bacteria under your gum line.
You may develop stain marks on your teeth over time, which brushing cannot remove. These stains occur from drinking tea, coffee, tobacco and other coloured drinks or food. The hygienist can remove the stains to restore your teeth' colour.
Besides scaling and polishing, your dental hygienist can detect early signs of oral cancer. Oral cancer is treatable when detected early. The hygienist will provide valuable advice on the risks of oral cancer and how to reduce them. You are at a high risk of developing oral cancer if you smoke, drink excess alcohol or are infected with the HPV virus.

Both the hygienist and dentists are registered dental professionals. The hygienist provides suitable care to prevent gum disease.

Good oral hygiene involves caring for your gums and teeth, which includes proper teeth cleaning and a diet low in sugary foods.
You can floss to clean your teeth and use an electric toothbrush to clean hard-to-reach areas. Maintaining proper dental hygiene and preventing dental complications is important. If gum disease is left untreated, heart disease and high blood sugar levels may worsen.

Plaque is bacteria that adhere to the surface of the teeth. The soft, sticky material can cause tooth decay and gum disease. It is important to prevent soft plaque by flossing and brushing and prevent oral disease and tooth decay. If you do not remove plaque daily, it becomes hard and forms tartar.
Tartar, also called calculus, is hard calcified deposits that adhere to the teeth. Tartar builds up over time, forming below or above the gum line. If it isn't removed completely, it may cause gum disease and tooth decay.
Tartar is hard and cannot come off with flossing or brushing, but a dental hygienist can remove it without damaging your tooth surface or gums.
Some dentists perform scale and polish procedures, but a dental hygienist is trained to perform hygiene therapies and spend longer with you. The hygienist will advise you on how to care for your gums and teeth.
A sticky film of plaque will build up on the teeth throughout the day. This consists of bacteria that react with sugar in our food to form acids that erode the enamel. You can remove plaque by brushing your teeth two times daily, but you may not reach certain areas in your mouth.
Over time, when plaque forms, it hardens to form tartar or calculus, a hard substance. Tartar is difficult to remove with brushing, which makes a scale and polish important.
No, it doesn't, but you may feel an unusual sensation in your mouth, such as a scraping sensation in the gums and a tickling feeling. You may use a numbing gel if you feel nervous about dental pain. If you are concerned about paind during a scale and polish, inform us when booking your appointment.
Some people experience pain for 1 – 2 days after a thorough dental cleaning. Teeth sensitivity is also common, with the gums feeling tender and swollen or bleeding. You can rinse your mouth to prevent infection. A follow-up visit to a dentist is vital to ensure the gums heal properly.
You may need more dental treatments if a deeper cleaning is necessary. Good oral care at home will prevent recurring or more serious gum disease. Ensure you brush your teeth two times daily with a soft brush and clean between your teeth. Avoid tobacco, eat a well-balanced diet and visit your dentist regularly.
Dental experts recommend that adults and kids undergo mouth examinations and teeth cleaning two times yearly. People with a periodontal or recurring oral disease history will need more frequent visits.
Our mouth contains different forms of bacteria. Some are beneficial to our oral health, but others aren't. When harmful bacteria are on the teeth, they produce acid that erodes the enamel, inflames and breakdown the gums. This may result in periodontal disease, tooth decay, discolouration, and loss. Other oral conditions may develop from these conditions, which makes a good oral hygiene routine at home important.
Regular cleanings to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from your mouth will keep your gums and teeth healthy and strong.
Professional teeth cleaning should feel comfortable. Effective methods and advanced technologies are available to prevent or reduce pain. If you have gum disease, a scale may feel uncomfortable, but this varies depending on the severity of the disease.
If the treatment is unsuitable, inform your dental hygienist. The hygienist can take some steps to ensure you are comfortable. Our experienced hygienist will make the procedure relaxing and offer topical or local anaesthetic.
You can clean your teeth every three months to every year. Everyone differs, including the mouth. The frequency of teeth cleaning will depend on how well you care for your mouth and your home care routine. If your gums bleed when brushing, eating or flossing, you need to visit a hygienist because gum disease may be the cause.
Your gums and bone form the foundation for your teeth, and caring for them is important for oral health. Bacteria can accumulate on your teeth regularly, and your hygienist removed the harmful plaque and tartar to maintain your dental health. Visiting your hygienist regularly and keeping your teeth in good condition is necessary. This will give you fresh breath and improve your appearance.
Your teeth shouldn't hurt after a deep cleaning. Some people experience sensitivity or tenderness after the cleaning, but it subsides in 1 – 2 days. This usually depends on the severity of the gum disease. Contact your dental hygienist for advice if you experience pain after a thorough cleaning.
