HYGIENIST
Our hygienist can clean your teeth and gums as well as offer advice on your daily oral hygiene routine. Routinely having your teeth and gums professionally cleaned can help prevent tooth decay, gum disease and problems such as bad breath. We at Dental Sense strongly believe in prevention and our highly skilled hygienist plays a central role in this.
Periodontal disease can occur at any age and over half of all people over the age of 18 have some form of the disease. Unfortunately, the disease process is usually asymptomatic and painless however can be easily detected during regular dental examinations. The most common type of periodontal disease are gingivitis and periodontitis, for patients with periodontitis (advanced gum disease) a full periodontal exam may be indicated.
Gum disease can cause bad breath, receding gums and loose teeth and is the leading cause of tooth loss.
Using our sophisticated Florida Probe and Imaging Techniques our hygienists and clinicians can identify and treat all stages of periodontal disease. By accurately recording and mapping levels of disease we can tailor treatments to your individual needs and subsequently monitor them. |
