HYGIENE APPOINTMENT FROM The Dental Centre Tenterden
The main role of a hygienist is to help you achieve and maintain good oral health. Our hygienist is supervised by, and works closely with, our principal dentist, Ambrose Ebhohimen.
A regular appointment with our dental hygienist may last for 20-45 minutes. They will initially check your medical history to ensure that any treatment they undertake will not cause you health problems.
They may dye the plaque on your teeth to highlight any areas missed when you use a toothbrush and floss. They will also offer appropriate oral hygiene advice to supplement your daily oral hygiene regime.
They will measure the gaps between gums and teeth with a rounded probe to explore whether any periodontal disease is present, and will undertake any treatment necessary to prevent the disease from progressing.
Your gum condition will be monitored by the hygienist to ensure regular oral maintenance. They will also encourage regular 3-6 monthly scaling and polishing to ensure the routine maintenance of healthy gums.
