Dental Hygienist
Dental hygiene is a very important part of keeping a healthy smile. Over time, plaque and tartar build up around the base of the tooth along the gum line. Failing to remove the plaque will result in tooth decay and gum disease. By making regular hygiene appointments, your team at Gosforth Dental surgery will be able to detect any potential problems before they get too serious. A good daily dental hygiene routine will ensure your teeth and gums are rid of the daily build-up of plaque and tartar. During you regular dental hygienist appointments for teeth cleaning here at Gosforth Dental Surgery, our hygienist will remove the plaque and tartar in those harder to reach places to prevent cavities, gingivitis, and gum disease. Two of the main causes of tooth loss are gum disease and tooth decay. With your dentist and hygienist working together with you, we can deal with any of these problems and help prevent them in the future. You should need fewer fillings, and with a good routine fewer or no extractions.
