More teeth are lost to gum disease than tooth decay. Many people are unaware that they have gum disease as it can be painless and can have very few symptoms.

Regular visits to the hygienist will identify any gum disease that may be present and will also treat the disease and prevent it from reoccurring.

At thegallery, our fully experienced hygienists will carry out a thorough gum screening process to detect any periodontal (gum) disease. The most important role of the hygienist is to educate the patient on the most effective oral hygienist techniques to help prevent gum disease, using a wide variety of oral hygiene aids. Our hygienists will also carry out a range of scaling and polishing procedures tailored to the individual patient’s needs.

Our dental hygienists are dedicated to providing preventative oral healthcare and information for all ages. Advice will be given on diet and fluoride to help prevent tooth decay and a whole range of advice can be given to help treat and prevent dental sensitivity.

Please call us to book an appointment to discuss your teeth.
