Why see a Dental Hygienist Reading?

Dental hygienists are experts in the prevention and treatment of oral diseases. They have a range of skills and expert training in providing hygiene and preventive services, from scaling and polishing to the application of fissure sealants.

Hygienists are often undervalued, but they are an extremely important part of the Gipsy Lane Advanced Dental Care team. If your dentist advises you to see a dental hygienist this is because you would benefit from their expertise. In terms of gum health and cleaning, hygienists actually receive more detailed training than dentists and you will be in safe hands.

In addition to treating and preventing gum disease, your dental hygienist can also discuss why you are developing problems in your mouth. They can show you how to brush your teeth properly and discuss diet and lifestyle choices.

How often should you see a dental hygienist?

Although our dental hygienists in Reading can look after a wide range of issues, first and foremost their focus is on your dental hygiene and the removal of plaque. Plaque is constantly forming to create a sticky layer on the surface of the teeth, and although a good dental hygiene routine at home will keep some plaque at bay, typically, it will still build up in hard-to-reach areas and can cause irreversible damage if left long enough.

Our hygienists in Reading are extremely skilled and knowledgeable about this area of dentistry and have the expertise needed to remove plaque build-up to keep your teeth and gums healthy. We recommend you book in to see your hygienist once every 6 months, alternatively, they can discuss your recall interval with you based on your clinical needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do dental hygienists do?

When it comes to the cleanliness of your teeth and gums, there’s no one better qualified to help than a dental hygienist in Reading. They can spot even the earliest signs of oral diseases such as Periodontitis and provide preventative care as well as treatment to ensure your oral health is at the top of its game.

Our team of dental hygienists are experts in preventing gum disease and plaque and tartar, and how best to keep these things at bay. As well as practical support, we can also offer a wealth of advice and knowledge that you can take home with you.

Is a dental hygienist painful?

There are some deep cleaning procedures that a dental hygienist might perform, such as a scale and polish. This is a comprehensive cleaning of your teeth and gums, where our hygienist will start by scraping away any build-up of plaque, tartar or calculus from the teeth, this is known as the scale. Once our hygienist is satisfied that your teeth have been descaled, they’ll go on to polish the surface of the teeth, essentially cleaning them deeply – this is the polish.

This is one of the most common treatments a dental hygienist will perform, but it shouldn’t be painful. You may feel a slight bit of discomfort during the scaling procedure, especially if you have a stubborn build-up of calculus but it shouldn’t be too severe. You should let your hygienist know if you’re finding the procedure painful at any time.

Does a hygienist whiten teeth?

Yes, a dental hygienist can work with you to whiten your teeth. Whether it’s by offering advice or performing the treatment in our dental clinic, you can have this sort of treatment carried out by one of our dental hygienists in Reading.

Can a hygienist remove brown stains?

A dental hygienist can work to brighten your smile with deep and comprehensive teeth cleaning, such as a scale and polish. Often this treatment will remove all traces of plaque, as well as mild staining for a whiter and brighter smile.

In some cases where staining is severe, you may need additional treatments, but this is something that can be discussed during your consultation with your dentist or your dental hygienist in Reading.
