Our hygienists at Windle House will provide a professional clean of your teeth above and below your gum, commonly known as a scale and polish. Once plaque hardens it becomes tartar, which can only be removed by a hygienist using specialised equipment.
At Windle House we have a team of hygienists who will help you maintain healthy teeth and gums with comprehensive treatment and oral health advice.
- The hygienist will assess the health of your gums through observations and measurements.
- They will then talk through the findings along with explaining the causes of gum disease.
- Oral health advice/education will be given to help prevent and treat gum disease and a plan on the devised treatment will be discussed.
Gingivitis
Treatment of early gum disease (Gingivitis) will involve the cleaning of teeth above the gum and at the gum line.
Periodontitis
More advanced gum disease (Periodontitis) is more difficult and time consuming to treat and often requires carrying out a much deeper clean over several appointments. This can involve the use of local anaesthesia to make it more comfortable for the patient whilst the hygienist gets to the full depth below the gums where the source of the problem is.
