Preventive dental care ensures you have a healthy and clean mouth, preventing the need for frequent dental treatments. Tooth loss often results from oral decay and gum diseases. Managing or avoiding these issues will increase your chances of keeping your teeth for life.
Our dental team at Hygienist London work to ensure patients prevent these issues or diagnose them early. Our experienced dentist will suggest a suitable treatment plan to ensure your mouth remains healthy and carry out the plan to keep your mouth protected.
Oral health affects your overall health, and preventive dentistry is vital to your well-being. Oral diseases can affect what you eat, how you speak and other activities, including your self-esteem.
In children, tooth decay can affect growth and development. However, dental conditions are preventable with preventive dentistry, and those that occur will likely need less extensive treatment. This helps preserve the natural teeth for life.
Your dental hygienist will assess the condition of your gums and teeth and discuss any necessary dental treatment. Preventive dentistry aims to maintain a clean and healthy mouth through excellent dental hygiene. The chances of gum disease and tooth decay occurring are also less.
The dental hygienist will carry out a thorough scale and polish procedure, then show you how to brush your teeth and clean between them with floss or interdental brushes daily to remove plaque that constantly forms on the teeth.
After eating or drinking sugary foods and beverages, the bacteria in plaque convert the sugar into acid, which can result in tooth decay. Plaque may also lead to gum inflammation when you leave them on the teeth and gum for a long time. The calculus or tartar that accumulates on the teeth is from plaque formed on the teeth over time.
The hygienist will inform you the good quality oral care products suitable for you. You will also discuss your diet and other habits like smoking and drinking. During your appointment with the dentist, they will check your filling to ensure that it is in good condition and no rough edges are present to make cleaning difficult.
You shouldn’t only visit the dentist when you have signs of dental disease. Preventive oral care at Hygienist London will keep your mouth healthy and clean.

Contact UsPreventive dentistry involves different things such as x-rays, oral exams and mouth cleaning, which are essential to prevent expensive dental treatment, and dental plans usually cover it.
Routine preventive dental exams have several benefits. They help reduce the risk of gum disease, tooth decay and other serious oral issues. It also aids in improving dental hygiene habits, such as flossing daily and brushing the teeth twice daily.
Drinks and food containing sugar can cause tooth decay. Reducing your sugary snacks and drinks intake can help reduce the risk of tooth decay. Foods like fruits, nuts, cheese and vegetables are better for the teeth. Your diet should be rich in fruits, minerals and vegetables to prevent gum disease and mouth cancer.
You can protect your teeth’ biting surface by applying sealants. The sealants make your tooth surface smoother, so cleaning the teeth is easier to prevent decay in the hard-to-reach areas. Your dental hygienist and dentist will inform you of the right option.
Dental erosion is the loss of the enamel resulting from an acid attack. If the enamel wears away, extreme sensitivity and pain may occur. Drinks and foods containing acids, such as fruit juice, smoothies, citrus fruits, fruit teas, and fizzy drinks, may cause dental erosion.
Some acidic drinks and foods may harm the teeth when taken in large amounts. Consider limiting acidic drinks and foods to mealtimes and using a straw when taking acidic drinks.
Try not to brush your teeth for at least one hour after drinking or eating anything because when you drink or eat, the enamel softens for some time, losing part of its mineral content. It takes at least an hour for your saliva to remineralise your teeth.
