Dental Hygiene and the role of a Dental Hygienist

Brushing and flossing your teeth daily is very important to maintain your oral health, mouth, gums and teeth. The more consistent and regular you can maintain your oral hygiene routine, you will be less likely to develop complications in the future, and you will keep your natural teeth for longer. A good oral hygiene routine can help to fight off the bacteria and protect your teeth from the chances of cavities and gum disease developing.

However, brushing & flossing alone will not always tackle the stubborn build up of plaque on your teeth. It is recommended that every 6 months you visit a dental hygienist who will use professional hygiene tools to tackle those stubborn plaque deposits and clean your teeth professionally.

By regularly attending both dentist visits and hygienist visits, we will be able to spot any early signs of potential problems, treating them before they progress into more complicated problems.

Tayba Hygiene Tips

Here’s our hygienist Tayba with her five top tips for staying fresh and healthy long-term.

Tips from Our Team

We asked our team to get together and decide on their five most important tips for maintaining great oral health. Here’s what they said…

What’s The Recommended Daily Oral Hygiene Routine

We recommend that you practice the follow routine daily:

  • Brush a minimum of twice a day, for a minimum of two minutes each time. Brush slow and not too hard.
  • Brush all your teeth
  • Floss for a minimum of once a day to tackle any stuck food particles. Do not floss to hard as it can cause your gums to bleed

*Please note, any signs of blood during this routine can be a symptom of gum disease and will need checking over

I am a nervous patient and recently have had a fair amount of much needed dental work carried out at Ascent dental care in Tamworth. Everyone at the practice from the women on reception to the 3 practitioners I have had treatment from have been amazing. They have all made me feel respected, reassured and safe, the care and quality of treatment from the practitioners has been excellent. They have explained everything very clearly and listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. Also, I can honestly say that the treatment has been painless. I will never look forward to visiting the dentist but I am much more reassured that I will be taken care of and my dental care is in the safest and most professional hands!

What’s Different Between a Dentist & Hygienist?

Dental hygienists are dental professionals who have trained specifically to deal with ensuring you maintain your oral hygiene. Hygienists will use hygiene tools that have been designed to tackle a build up stubborn plaque. As well as cleaning your teeth, the hygienists role is to educate you on best practices for oral hygiene. If you require additional cleaning to maintain your hygiene levels, the hygienist may recommend certain products to help you.
