Brackley's Dental Hygienists
We included the video from Sheffield University to remind us that dental hygienists and therapists are highly skilled staff.
Their professional training and qualifications offer much to patients. The tasks they carry out are well beyond cleaning your teeth, as valuable and refreshing as that can feel.
Hygienists are also a vital part of the early warning system, helping to identify symptoms and ensure prompt treatment. Liaising closely with our dentists and other specialist staff.
Improving Oral Health
What the work of a hygienist is about. Maximising oral health is such an important part of your general health.
Scaling and Polishing
Removal of plaque and calculus. Hard and soft deposits which feel less than pleasant and can lead to disease.
Antibacterial Treatments
Dental hygienists apply anti-bacterial gels, or solutions, to kill bacteria which are an underlying cause of gum disease.
Working With Dentists
Hygienists refer patients to dentists and the other way around. Hygienists may be better trained for certain treatments.
Identifying Symptoms
Skilled analysis stops disease taking hold and brings early referral for treatment, a great way to reduce treatment.
Dental Radiography
Many hygienists are qualified to take dental x-rays. Useful diagnostically and an asset when referring you to a dentist.
Supporting Children
Hygienists also help children. Who benefit widely and may need fissure sealants, or fluoride varnishes applied.
Diet and Nutrition
A good diet plays a vital part in preventing dental decay. Dental hygienists understand the relationship well.
