The importance of dental hygiene visits

Here at Avenue Dental Practice in the heart of Leamington Spa, we consider dental hygiene appointments a crucial part of preventive dental care. These visits help us catch potential issues early, prevent oral health problems, and keep your smile looking its best. Plus, it’s a great opportunity for us to share tips and tricks tailored specifically to your oral care needs!

What to expect during your appointment

From the moment you walk through our doors, we want you to feel at ease and at home. Here’s what a typical visit might look like:

  • A warm welcome: Forget the traditional reception desk; our team will greet you personally, making you feel welcomed from the start.
  • Thorough cleaning: Our skilled hygienist will gently remove any plaque and tartar buildup, leaving your teeth feeling fresh and clean.
  • Detailed check-up: We’ll take a close look at your teeth and gums to ensure everything is healthy, and discuss any areas of concern.
  • Personalised advice: Before you leave, we’ll offer specific advice on how to improve your dental care routine, ensuring you can keep your smile bright until your next visit.

FAQs

Can I see a hygienist without seeing a dentist at Avenue Dental?

Absolutely! At Avenue Dental Practice, you have the flexibility to book appointments directly with our hygienists without a prior check-up by a dentist. This makes it convenient for you to maintain your oral hygiene regularly.

How long is a standard hygienist appointment?

Typically, a standard appointment with our hygienists lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. This gives us ample time to thoroughly clean your teeth and discuss any concerns you might have about your oral health.

Are hygienist appointments worth it?

Definitely! Regular visits to our hygienists are a great investment in your oral health. They help prevent gum disease, remove plaque buildup, and offer an excellent opportunity to catch any issues early on, which can save you both discomfort and money in the long run.

Is scale and polish the same as seeing a hygienist?

While scaling and polishing are key components of what our hygienists do during your appointment, they offer much more. Our hygienists also assess your overall oral health, provide personalised advice, and may recommend additional treatments like fluoride applications to help protect your teeth.

Does a hygienist clean gums?

Yes, cleaning your gums is a critical part of what our hygienists do. They carefully clean around and under the gumline to remove any plaque or tartar buildup, which is essential for preventing gum disease and keeping your mouth healthy.
