How often should we make appointments with the hygienist?

In general, you should aim to make appointments with your dental hygienist between 1 and 2 times every year. If you switch back and forth between cleanings and dental checkups, this should ensure your teeth are well looked after and that any dental issues can be detected as soon as they appear.

Does it hurt when you visit the dental hygienist?

No, the standard scale and polish treatment shouldn’t usually hurt. If you experience any pain or discomfort during your treatment, we can try to identify the source of your discomfort and then use a local anaesthetic to make your experience more comfortable.

What are the main habits of a good dental hygiene routine?

The first rule of dental hygiene is that you have to brush your teeth at least twice a day. Brush carefully for at least two minutes and cover both your top and bottom teeth. If you pair this with regular visits to the dentist to identify any more serious problems with your oral health, then you should have nothing to worry about.

What is the difference between a routine checkup and a teeth cleaning?

A teeth cleaning is a professional dental cleaning that is performed by a professional hygienist. It is generally recommended that everyone has this type of cleaning every six months. On the other hand, a checkup is a more comprehensive exam that is performed by a dentist and may include X-rays, an examination of the teeth and gums, and a conversation about your overall oral health.

Why is it important to get dental checkups?

The key to maintaining good dental hygiene is prevention. If you spot the signs of decay or gum disease early, you can help protect your teeth in the long term. Your dentist or dental therapist will do a thorough evaluation of your teeth and gums at each appointment and will discuss the available options if treatment is required.

How often should I go to the dentist?

It’s essential to pay regular visits to your dentist to make sure your gums and teeth stay healthy. Your dentist should discuss with you often you need to attend your check-up appointments, which should be anywhere between 3 and 24 months.

Good dental hygiene is essential for maintaining a bright,
beautiful and healthy smile. The start and end of good oral
hygiene is making regular visits to your hygienist.

With our hygienist service at Andrew Lee Dental practice,Leamington Spa, Hygienists can effectively clean your teeth and gums, methodically removing the plaque and tartar. This eliminates stains from your teeth and leaves your mouth feeling clean and refreshed.

Paying regular visits to the dentist and staying on top of your oral care not only helps you to maintain healthy teeth and gums, but it will also prevent you from developing more serious problems in the future. Gum disease is a common issue that if left untreated can lead to tooth decay and loss. By regularly removing the plaque and tartar from your mouth, you lower your chances of developing gum disease.

What are the
causes of bad
breath?

The most common cause of bad breath, or halitosis, is poor oral hygiene. Without good, strong oral hygiene habits — such as brushing, flossing and routine teeth cleanings — food can get stuck in your teeth, allowing harmful bacteria to invade your mouth and multiply out of control. In addition to bad breath, this can lead to serious issues like cavities and gum disease. In some instances, bad breath can be a symptom for more serious diseases, such as tonsillitis, respiratory infections and certain gastrointestinal disorders.

Brushing and flossing your teeth twice every day is essential to keeping your breath smelling fresh. Visit our clinic regularly and our dentist will not only keep your breath fresh, but will also inspect your mouth to see if they can find and treat more serious problems like gum disease and dental decay. If you’re more concerned about bad breath, contact our practice to make an appointment with our dental hygienist in Leamington Spa. We’ll put your mind at ease.

Defend yourself
against tooth
decay

Irregular and poor brushing habits enable bacteria to break into the mouth and build up on your teeth. Over time this will erode your enamel, exposing the soft material underneath and leading to cavities. If a cavity isn’t treated, bacteria may infect the root which can only be treated with a root canal and crown or extraction.

The easiest way to protect yourself against this outcome is to ensure that you regularly visit your hygienist and get checkups. This will allow your dentist to spot plaque buildup or cavities before it’s too late. A dental hygienist can provide good tips on how to improve your brushing technique and boost your dental hygiene.
