Dental Hygiene Services Auckland
Dental hygiene is more than just brushing your teeth twice a day. It’s a crucial aspect of maintaining overall oral health. Regular dental hygiene appointments help prevent common dental problems like cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
At Star Dental, we believe that investing in your oral health is an investment in your well-being. Our experienced dental hygienists are dedicated to providing you with the highest quality care and personalised advice.
What Are Dental Hygiene Services?
Dental hygiene services include a range of procedures aimed at maintaining healthy teeth and gums. These services typically involve:
- Professional teeth cleaning: Removing plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing alone can’t reach.
- Polishing: Smoothing the tooth surfaces to prevent plaque from adhering.
- Fluoride treatments: Strengthening tooth enamel and protecting against decay.
Our dental hygienists will also assess your overall oral health, looking for signs of gum disease, tooth decay, or other potential issues. They can provide you with tailored advice on how to maintain optimal oral health between appointments.
Benefits of Regular Hygiene Visits
Regular dental hygiene appointments offer numerous benefits for your oral health:
- Improved oral health: Early detection of potential problems, such as cavities or gum disease.
- Prevention of gum disease: Gum disease can lead to serious health issues, including heart disease and stroke.
- Prevention of tooth decay: Regular cleanings and fluoride treatments help protect your teeth from decay.
- Fresher breath: Plaque and tartar buildup can contribute to bad breath.
- Brighter smile: Regular cleanings can help remove surface stains and improve the appearance of your teeth.
What to Expect During a Dental Hygiene Appointment
A typical dental hygiene appointment involves the following steps:
- Consultation: You’ll discuss your oral health history and any concerns you may have with your dental hygienist.
- Dental examination: Your hygienist will examine your teeth, gums, and jaw for signs of disease or abnormalities.
- Scaling and polishing: Your hygienist will remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and smooth the tooth surfaces.
