\"bad-breath-berkshire\"<\/a>What Is A Hygienist?<\/strong><\/p>\n

First of all let’s learn about the exact role of a hygienist – it\u2019s very simple really. A hygienist is there for the care and maintenance of your gums. How do they do this? Through cleaning. A hygienist is slightly different from the dentist and is actually trained in different things. A hygienist can\u2019t perform the same things as a dentist but instead have their own set of procedures to perform.<\/p>\n

Curing Oral Health and Bad Breath Berkshire<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The work of a hygienist is simple – you\u2019ll be referred to them but your dentist. During your appointment they will assess your teeth for gum disease, and the overall health of your gums. They\u2019ll look for signs of poor oral hygiene and discuss your current oral hygiene routine with you.<\/p>\n

Scale and Polish<\/strong><\/p>\n

The main practice performed by a hygienist is what we call a scale and polish. A scale and polish is a super deep clean – the platinum scale of care valet! They have special tools designed to get under the gums and clean out any built up plaque and tartar that could be causing your gums to inflame. It\u2019s also a plaque or tartar build up that\u2019s linked to your oral health and bad breath Berkshire<\/strong>. Why? Well the tartar\/plaque gives off acid and smells which linger in the mouth and on the tongue.<\/p>\n

For many patients just one of these deep clean treatments will be enough to cure their gum disease and bad breath as long as it\u2019s then further taken care of at home with good oral hygiene routines being put in place.<\/p>\n

Good Oral Hygiene<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your hygienist will go through your current routine with you, making sure to identify all the holes in the current method you have. For the most part people don\u2019t brush their teeth enough times, they don\u2019t floss and they don\u2019t attend regular check ups. It\u2019s only when all three of these practices are put together that good oral health can be attained and kept.<\/p>\n

Building Habits<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your oral health is just as important as any other part of your health but for some reason we don\u2019t like to think of our teeth as important as say our liver or lungs, but really they are. Not having teeth can be difficult for a lot of reasons and can leave people with seriously low self esteem when they\u2019re lost. Build those healthy habits now so you can reap the rewards later down the road. What is two minutes out of the day now, will pay dividends well into your 60\u2019s, 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
