Here at Sarum Dental, we have adopted the philosophy that prevention is always better than cure. By this, we mean it’s much better to keep on top of your oral health so that more expensive and involved treatment isn’t needed further down the line!
So what’s the best way to prevent cavities and other dental issues? Keep reading to find out what our dental hygiene experts in Salisbury recommend!
“Why is oral hygiene so important?”
Regular visits to your local Salisbury dental hygienist are vital for maintaining good oral health and are an important supplement to regular checkups! There have been numerous reports showing how poor oral health can affect your overall wellbeing by causing pain, reducing your confidence and even increasing the risk of serious systemic disease. For example, bacteria from untreated gum disease can enter the bloodstream and affect vital organs. Therefore, it’s important to ensure your smile is in top condition!
“Can’t my dentist do my oral hygiene check?”
At Sarum Dental, our Salisbury dentists are fully qualified in all aspects of oral hygiene, but our hygienist team have undergone particular training in this area. This means they focus solely on removing plaque and tartar from your teeth, and even below the gum line, where much damage can occur!
“I have sensitive teeth. Can you help me?”
Yes! Aside from the traditional scale-and-polish procedure, which doesn’t suit some sensitive-toothed patients, we offer AirFlow polishing! This treatment is far gentler than traditional methods and is less abrasive to the enamel and gums.
AirFlow can even help with your pre-existing sensitivity, as the fine bicarbonate powder particles used in the jet polish can fill in microscopic gaps in your enamel, reducing sensitivity.
“Why choose Sarum Dental for hygiene appointments?”
With many dental practices in the local Salisbury area, it can feel daunting to pick the right one for you. Whilst there are multiple reasons our dental hygienists can offer the best service, we’d rather you hear from previous patients about our five-star experience!
