Dental Hygiene

Dental Hygienist in Barrow-in-Furness

Good dental hygiene is fundamental to having healthy teeth and gums. As well as having regular check-ups by your dentist, routine visits to the dental hygienist are vital for maintaining your oral health.

Hygiene therapy beings with a thorough assessment of the health of your teeth and gums and then involves the gentle removal of any stubborn plaque and tartar build-up around the teeth and below the gum line that simple brushing alone cannot always remove. Plaque and tartar, if left to their own devices, can cause significant problems associated with tooth decay and gum disease.
