Your Dental Hygiene Journey
1. Consultation
The first step on any treatment journey with us at our Wimpole Street dental practice is an in-depth consultation, as it helps us to assess your smile, gives us the opportunity to look over your dental history, and ensures you can discuss your treatment in advance – with absolutely no commitment.
2. Treatment
One of the main parts of your treatment will be a scale and polish, which helps keep your smile bright, breath fresh, and teeth healthy. This professional clean can remove staining and calculus (hard areas of plaque) which brushing alone won’t shift. In turn, this can help prevent problems such as inflammation and gum disease, as well as calculus below the gums, which can loosen the teeth. Finally, it’s a chance to check for evidence of other oral health concerns, including oral cancer, signs of infection, decay and bone loss.
3. Aftercare
Our Marylebone dentists are committed to dental excellence – so in our minds, the treatment doesn’t end when you leave our dental practice. Our dental experts will share tips and techniques on how to care for your smile and signs that problems may be setting in.
Your dental hygiene questions
at 19 Wimpole Street Dental Practice
Dental hygiene involves keeping your teeth and gums clean and healthy to prevent dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Regular dental hygiene care, both at home and with professional check-ups, helps maintain a healthy smile and overall oral health.
It depends on your oral health, but typically, a yearly appointment is all that’s needed to keep on top of your mouth, teeth and gums. Usually, an appointment lasts around 45 minutes. If you are in need of an appointment, you can book it by phone 020 7580 2720 or via our online booking system.
During a dental hygiene appointment, our team will thoroughly clean your teeth and gums, removing plaque and tartar that can’t be removed with regular brushing. We also check for early signs of dental issues, provide advice on oral care routines, and recommend products tailored to your needs.
Our Wimpole Street dentists know great oral health is easily achievable with the correct care. Here’s what you can do at home to easily help your dental hygiene:
- Brush as well as floss
- Ensure you brush twice daily, two minutes at a time
- Keep an eye on anything unusual, such as swelling or bleeding – this could indicate a problem like gum disease or an infection
If it’s your first hygiene therapy appointment with our Wimpole Street dentists, we’ll carry out some detailed assessments on your general and oral health, will put together a tailored treatment plan for you, and will give your mouth, teeth and gums a professional clean. Our experts can also advise on everything from diet to ways to quit smoking.
