Tooth Hygiene Therapy At Dental Excellence

The fact that you’re reading this will hopefully indicate that you are already well aware of the importance of taking a proactive approach to your oral health if you are to preserve your smile. Prevention of dental hygiene issues is always preferable to having to apply a treatment once tooth decay and gum disease have become established.

To understand the important role that tooth hygiene therapy can play in protecting your smile, it is instructive to consider the issues that tooth decay and gum disease can raise.

Gum disease is also sometimes referred to as periodontal disease; it is an inflammatory disease that attacks the gums, bones and the teeth’s other supporting structures. It originates with the formation on the teeth of colourless bacteria called plaque, which – if it is not brushed away – can lead to the gums gradually slipping downwards away from the tooth.

This movement, in turn, can lead to the creation of pockets between the teeth and gums that can harbour plaque and accelerate deterioration. If the disease progresses to the point of the bone anchoring the teeth in the jaw being lost, teeth can become loose, with lack of treatment potentially meaning teeth may eventually fall out or need to be removed.

In short, you really cannot be complacent about your tooth hygiene, which should be a key part of your commitment to strong all-round oral health. And when you are anxious to ensure you take no chances with your dental health, there is simply no better choice than allying with a renowned, technologically advanced clinic like Dental Excellence.

Even before you get in touch with us, there are certain things you can do to educate yourself on your dental hygiene, as well as habits you can embed into your daily routine to help guard against the further deterioration of oral health issues. These naturally include brushing your teeth at least twice a day – in the morning and last thing at night – as well as daily flossing and refraining from smoking.

When you combine these practices with attentiveness to any potential emerging issues with your teeth and gums, you can be sure you’re on the right track to continued good dental health and hygiene, even when you aren’t visiting us in person. Pain in your teeth or gums, for example, can be a reason for concern, as can the gums being swollen or bleeding. As plaque accumulates, the gums can swell, and if this is left uncleaned, there is a higher risk of this developing into periodontal disease.

The symptoms above are often the ones that make us most anxious about our tooth hygiene – and indeed, they may have been what prompted you to take an interest in Dental Excellence’s all-encompassing services. But it’s also important to be alert to any tooth discolouration, which could point to a problem with your diet or all-round dental care routine. Again, when you contact our experts and book a consultation, we can begin to assess your current oral health and run you through the options you have for practising better tooth hygiene.

You can almost certainly now begin to understand why tooth hygiene therapy is a standard feature of all of our smile solutions here at Dental Excellence – from our Gold Mini Smile Makeover, right through to the prestigious Diamond VIP Digital Smile Makeover Express service. It really is the foundation of ensuring your teeth are in great condition, and you continue to have a smile that gives you the very greatest confidence in your day-to-day life.

Even if you are not greatly self-conscious about your smile or anxious to improve it, it is important to be mindful of the wide range of potential implications of being neglectful of your oral hygiene. Gum disease isn’t just associated with pain, unsightly gaps between the teeth, loose teeth or even tooth loss – there is also a close link to bad breath, and even to other medical conditions.

Substantial evidence has been found for a connection between gum disease and conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, low sperm count, and premature birth. So, taking close care of your dental health and oral hygiene is far from just an act of the ‘vain’ – it is also a course of action taken by those who value their all-round health and wellbeing.

The importance of practising the highest standards of dental hygiene could hardly be overemphasised. It is a crucial foundation for all-round oral health, and you should not only be paying attention to it if there are obvious signs of emerging gum disease or tooth decay.

You might think you’re doing enough to protect your all-round oral health simply by making regular visits to the dentist, and while this is unquestionably important, tooth hygiene therapy from Dental Excellence represents the next level of proactive evaluation and treatment.

As stated above, tooth hygiene therapy is very much about taking a preventative approach to any potentially emerging dental health problems, so that you can guard against potential deterioration and have much less to worry about later. After all, correcting issues with your teeth and gums that have been allowed to become established over time can be expensive and inconvenient, to say nothing about the knock to your confidence if you are less than sure about your smile. Responsible dental therapy & hygiene treatments typically include the scaling of the teeth to remove any build-up of plaque or tartar that your regular brushing routine might not have been effective in eradicating. You can also expect a good dental hygienist to be able to carry out cleaning and polishing on your teeth to remove any superficial stains.

No less integral to a tooth hygiene therapist’s work, however, is the specific advice they provide to patients to help them take greater ownership of their dental health. It is, after all, your teeth, and your smile that you show to the world! So, when you arrive for tooth hygiene therapy and the all-round assessment we undertake of your oral health, be sure to pay close attention to what our dentist suggests to you about your dental care routine or diet.

And if there are any more serious problems that our passionate dental professionals spot as a result of their thorough evaluation of your teeth and gums, they will be able to have that honest conversation with you about what steps you might need to take and the possible treatment options. After all, if you turn to Dental Excellence in the first place, we can be pretty sure it’s because you believe in the importance of the most fastidious, informed and technologically advanced dental care, reaching those areas that a regular dentist may – quite literally – not reach.

Taking advantage of our in-depth expertise in tooth hygiene therapy can be an excellent platform for seeking out the further dental treatment that you might desire as a route to the smile of your dreams. With our acclaimed services encompassing the likes of customised teeth whitening, orthodontics, composite edge bonding, composite veneers, digital smile design, and so much more,
when you turn to us for dental hygiene treatment, you can be sure that you won’t only receive dental hygiene treatment.

All of this is combined with a service of uncompromising convenience and opulence, as we are renowned for here at Dental Excellence. Visits to our clinic for all manner of dental treatment can include lunch, snacks and refreshments throughout the day, and even the opportunity to enjoy a film or music as we carry out our dental applications at our well-appointed Liverpool facility.

You might even go as far as enquiring to us about our dental concierge service, which can take the form of the complete dental holiday. This especially prestigious service would entail us putting together a full trip itinerary for you, including transport, accommodation and entertainment, so that you barely have to lift a finger to experience the ultimate dental treatment experience.

Whichever dental treatment package you choose from our broad range – or even if you really do approach us ‘just’ for tooth hygiene therapy – it’s all a far cry from the kind of cold, clinical and unwelcoming experiences you might have previously had at the dentist. Our team takes great pride in having turned traditional dentistry on its head, with a level of bespoke attention and personalisation that you might have previously never expected from dental care.
