Why are Hygienist visits needed?

• It may be necessary for your teeth to be cleaned professionally by a Dental Hygienist in order to remove the calculus and staining which builds up over time!
• Or in some cases more extensive cleaning may be needed to prevent the progress of gum disease.
• Periodontitis is a  condition which can lead to the loss of teeth if unchecked, and one which is present in 50% of the population to some degree.
• Periodontitis is also increasingly linked to other health issues, such as Diabetes and Heart Disease, amongst other things.
