Why Regular Dental Hygiene Appointments Are Essential for a Healthy Smile

Prioritising preventative dental care is one of the most beneficial choices you can make for your oral health. Through regular appointments and professional cleaning treatments, many of the most serious dental issues can be prevented: saving you time, pain and expense in the future. 

At Manor Dental Centre, we make preventative dental care one of our top priorities. As a part of this, we offer accessible dental hygiene appointments for our clients: which provide patients with professional teeth cleaning on a regular basis. This regular, professional cleaning helps to prevent the build-up of plaque and address many other building issues before they become serious problems.

What Happens During Our Dental Hygiene Appointments?

The dental hygiene appointments we provide at Manor Dental Centre are carried out by our team of professionals in a sterile, relaxed environment. 

The dental hygiene appointments themselves are straightforward, consisting of a professional oral health assessment and a gentle clean of your teeth and gums to remove any plaque or tartar build-up. We do not perform a traditional scale and polish; instead, we provide Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), a more advanced and gentler approach to dental cleaning.

As part of this process, a purple dye is carefully applied to the teeth and then washed off. This highlights the presence of biofilm, allowing both you and our dental team to clearly see the areas that require attention. Through this guidance, we are able to clean your teeth more effectively and comfortably.

Throughout the cleaning process, any issues with the health of your gums or teeth can be identified and addressed by our Clinicians. 

The Benefits of Regular Dental Hygiene Appointments

There are numerous benefits that come from scheduling regular dental hygiene appointments with our team at Manor Dental. For instance, by having a more in-depth professional cleaning performed in addition to your regular brushing, you can more effectively prevent gum disease from occurring. 

Regular dental hygiene appointments also serve to reduce the risk of tooth decay and cavities which could be caused by excess tartar or plaque build-up. Preventing these more serious problems can not only save you inconvenience later on, but the unexpected expenses that come with emergency dental procedures. 

Additionally, regularly having your teeth cleaned by our dentist can have an impact on your confidence. After a thorough cleaning, many individuals feel more confident in their smile. Stains can be removed, breath can be freshened and your confidence can be renewed. With the addition of a teeth whitening treatment, you can restore complete confidence to your smile with ease. 

The aim of preventative care is in the name, to prevent major problems from happening. With our dental hygiene appointments at Manor Dental, you can leave our practice confident in the health of your mouth and the appearance of your smile. 

How Often Should You Book Dental Hygiene Appointments?

Preventative dental care may be one of the most beneficial investments you can make for your oral health, but few benefits can be achieved if these preventative appointments aren’t scheduled regularly. 

We typically recommend that our dental hygiene appointments are booked with us every three to six months, and can be combined with our regular dental check-ups for optimal effect and convenience. 

We understand that visiting us this regularly could be difficult for some individuals, whether due to cost, timing or nerves. Therefore, we have created two flexible adult dental plan options which aim to address the potential issues that come with regular visits to our dental practice. 

Our dental plans offer a flexible way to pay a fixed monthly price for your annual dental appointments, with two dental health examinations and up to four dental hygiene appointments covered per year. With further benefits, including in-depth examinations, oral cancer checks and x-rays where clinically necessary, these plans are perfect to take the stress out of upfront dental expenses. 

With the flexible appointment scheduling available at our practice, and a high quality of care delivered no matter which plan you choose, the dental plans we offer at Manor Dental Centre make booking your dental hygiene appointments that little bit more affordable and predictable.
