Dental Hygiene

Did you know that long term plaque build-up (and subsequent gum disease which happens when the bacteria in plaque attacks our gums below the surface to make them red and inflammed) is one of the most common causes of tooth decay and eventual tooth loss in the UK?

That's why, at Tavistock Drive Dental Care, we recommend dental hygiene appointments at least every six months with our friendly and professional hygienist playing an important part in reducing your oral health problems, your dental hygiene appointment will include the following:

• A gentle yet thorough clean of your teeth to remove the build-up of harmful plaque
• Removal of odour causing bacteria for a fresh breath
• Air polish to remove any light stains for a sparkling clean smile
• Soft tissue checks to ensure healthy gums
• Advice on how to effectively brush and floss your teeth
