A good daily dental hygiene routine and regular dental hygienist appointments ensure your teeth remain clean even in those hard to reach places to prevent tooth decay and more expensive treatments in the future.
Dental hygienists have a key role to play in oral health care, in ensuring that gum disease does not arise as well as to help maintain restorations (bridges, crowns, implants fillings, e.t.c).
Gum disease is the biggest single cause of adult tooth loss and a problem that we take very seriously.
Durban Dental Centre employs a dedicated team of thoroughly trained dental hygienists to keep your mouth infection-free.
They are not just there to clean teeth, they also have a very important role to play in preventing tooth decay by providing education, treatment and care. The need for regular dental hygiene visits is on equal terms with regular dental visits.
We provide dental hygiene appointments to fully clean your teeth and gums and to give advice on your daily dental hygiene routine.
Our dental hygiene appointments provide:
Dental hygiene examination
To look for any inflammation, bleeding and plaque or calculus buildup.
Scaling & polishing
To remove all plaque and calculus with a variety of the latest equipment
Daily dental hygiene advice
On routine, to ensure you can maintain those areas visibly accessible on a day to day basis in between dental hygiene appointments and ensure long term problems caused by poor dental hygiene remain at bay.
Manual toothbrushes, electric toothbrushes, mouthwash, dental floss, and interdental brushes are all available from our practice.
