Consultation care

Different dental treatments are available at Hygienist London, each serving a specific purpose, but they all help to enhance your oral health and give you a beautiful smile.

A common service offered at our dental practice is new patient consultation and treatment. During the consultation, you will discuss your oral hygiene routine with the dental hygienist or dentist.

The dentist or hygienist will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums to check for signs of dental disease. The dental exam will include checking for gum pockets, bleeding and gum disease, and tooth mobility, which helps to determine the severity of any dental problem. Your dentist will also check for plaques and tartar o the teeth and under the gum.

If you have plaque and tartar deposits, the dentist will carefully remove them and also remove stains on the teeth with an ultrasonic scaler, then carry out a manual scaling.

Why Scaling?

Scaling is a dental procedure that involves the dentist carefully removing toxins, contamination, micro-organisms, plaques and tartar that have accumulated under the gums and on the teeth. Scaling helps to keep the teeth healthy and improve your smile. The dentist will then polish your teeth to give them a silky, smooth, clean appearance.

The next step is discussing your gum condition, and you will get useful advice on maintaining healthy teeth and gums. If any other treatment is necessary, the dentist will advise you on a suitable course of treatment. The dentist will also inform you of your next appointment to maintain your oral health.

What to do during your appointment

During your appointment, inform the dentist if you have dental issues such as teeth grinding, headaches or TMJ. Your dentist will also check for cavities and tooth decay, and you may need an x-ray of your teeth or get a referral to a specialist for specific treatment, if necessary.
