The secret to great looking, healthy teeth is good oral hygiene.

At Pine Dental & Aesthetics, we firmly believe in preventative care. We equip our patients with the knowledge and skills needed to maintain a high level of oral hygiene at home. Our dedicated dental hygienist is on hand to assist you in keeping your teeth clean and gums healthy.

Your dentist will check your gums during all your routine check-up appointments and recommend a pattern for regular dental hygienist visits based on your presenting oral health. Some patients may only need one session each year, whereas those suffering from gum disease may need regular visits every three months.

Our hygienists will then conduct a thorough gum assessment, discuss your current oral care routine and formulate a bespoke plan with you to ensure you teeth and gums remain healthy, your breath stays fresh and your smile keeps shining bright.

A build-up of stains on the teeth commonly occur due to food and drink pigments or smoking. Our dental hygienist is well versed in effectively treating this oral health problem to leave you with a cleaner and brighter smile, without damaging your teeth or gums.

A deep clean of your gums may be required to help manage active gum disease, to resolve bleeding gums and to remove hard calculus build ups under the gums. To ensure you don’t experience pain or sensitivity, during this process, we can place local anaesthetic to the area.

After treatment, our dental hygienist will educate you on the best ways to maintain excellent hygiene standards at home. This may include advice on products, cleaning routines and diet to reduce plaque and calculus build up that can lead to a variety of gum and tooth issues.

We will then invite you back for an oral health check up in three months to make sure of improvement.
