It's generally recommended to have a dental check-up and cleaning every six months. However, the frequency can vary based on individual oral health needs. Our dentist or dental hygienist at Harrow Dental Practice may suggest more frequent visits if you have specific conditions like periodontal disease.
A regular dental cleaning involves removing plaque and tartar from above the gum line to maintain oral health. A deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a more intensive procedure that cleans below the gum line to treat gum disease.
To maintain oral hygiene between professional cleanings, brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, maintain a balanced diet, and avoid tobacco products. Regular dental check-ups are also essential.
During a scale and polish appointment, the dental hygienist will remove plaque and tartar build-up using specialised tools (scaling) and then polish your teeth to remove stains and smooth the surfaces. This process helps prevent gum disease and keeps your teeth looking bright.
Poor oral hygiene and failure to visit a dental hygienists regularly can result in developing gum disease. This is when bacteria in the mouth settles in pockets around the tooth just above the gum line.
Once it hardens into plaque it becomes difficult to remove. If the plaque is not removed the disease (Gingivitis) will steadily worsen developing into a more serious form of gum disease called Periodontitis.
This can result in the loss of a tooth. Read more about gum disease (Gingivitis) here.
This is known as halitosis and our dental hygienists can advise patients how to prevent bad breath and explain how and why bad breath occurs.
By flossing your teeth at least once a day and tooth brushing at least twice a day will help to remove the build up of food deposits in between your teeth and achieve fresh breath.
This can result in the loss of a tooth. Read more about gum disease (Gingivitis) here.
