Preventative Dentistry With Hygienists At Naenae Dental Clinic

It is well known by now that visiting your dental hygienist on a regular basis will go a long way to assisting with your oral maintenance in the long run. Naenae Dental Clinic’s Wellington dental hygienists and oral health therapists work closely with their Wellington dental team to provide a complete care approach to their patients’ oral health.

A dental hygienist’s job is to maintain the health of the supporting structures of the teeth, such as the gum and bone that create the foundations for your teeth. This care includes prevention, diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of gingivitis or periodontal diseases, commonly known as gum disease. These issues are often symptomless, but can present as bleeding when brushing, bad breath, swollen and red looking gums, loose teeth, or gum recession, and early detection of these concerns is vital in the prevention of gum and bone destruction. Your dentist will normally recommend you to their dental hygienist, and it is advisable that you visit them on a six monthly basis, to ensure your teeth are well maintained

A dental hygiene treatment may include scaling and polishing stains and deposits (such as plaque and calculus/tartar) off your tooth surfaces to treat these concerns, and if necessary can be done so using numbing gels or local anaesthetics. Based on your specific needs your dental hygienist will suggest regular dental maintenance appointments to ensure stabilisation and prevention of further concerns, as well as comprehensive advice for ongoing home care.

The Naenae Dental Hygiene department offers much more than ‘tooth cleaning’; and aside from gum disease treatment and prevention, can also support you with whitening, dietary advice, care of your oral health at home, with product suggestions and plans, implant and prosthetics maintenance, sensitivity treatments, and advice about decay or erosion.
