Dental Hygiene

Do you need a Dental Hygienist in Morden?

Regular hygiene appointments to clean and polish your teeth and to check your gums are the foundations of good oral health. At Morden Dentist, we offer high quality hygiene therapy sessions and care for your dental health in the most gentle and thorough manner. Our hygienists will give you advice on how you can take care of your oral hygiene at home, by explaining proper tooth brushing and flossing techniques.

The Importance of Dental Hygiene Appointments

Cleaning & Prevention
If your gums appear inflamed or frequently bleed when either brushing or flossing, then you need to visit a qualified dental hygienist who can help. Any of these problems can be symptoms of the first stage of gum disease, and if left untreated can lead to tooth loss and other health problems. During your appointment our hygienist will remove calculus deposits and stains from your teeth. They can also include Airflow Polishing (at an extra charge) – see below.
Education
Our dental hygienist will educate patients on relevant oral health topics such as caring for your gums and teeth, dietary habits and health conditions. They can also recommend products for home use and show you how to use them.
Maintaining
Dental Hygienists work with your dentist to plan an oral health maintenance program, including assessment of your periodontal health and a review your medical history and lifestyle.

What is Airflow Polishing?

Airflow polishing is a recent advancement in scale and polishing treatment. The Airflow polishing system shoots a high-pressured blast of water, bicarbonate and air through a small nozzle onto the surfaces of the teeth. It has been proven to be an effective tool at removing stains and plaque.
It is also an effective way of reducing stains and discolouration caused by smoking or drinking red wine, tea or coffee, as it can help brighten teeth by thoroughly removing dental plaque.
Airflow polishing is also an ideal way of cleaning before procedures that require bonding and the use of sealants as it removes nearly 100% of bacteria.
This highly effective technique improves comfort by polishing without direct contact, heavy pressure, heat or noise. Airflow is completely safe to use with dental implants, veneers, crowns and bridges.
