Gentle Dental Hygiene Appointments in Salisbury, Wiltshire

Want to keep your teeth and gums healthy, your smile whiter and your breath fresher? Clinical studies prove that regular treatment by your hygienist in Salisbury will help. That’s why at Sarum Dental, we adopt a preventive approach to dentistry, in which your Salisbury dentist and hygienist will work together to ensure you and your family receive comprehensive preventive dental care.

Routine Dental Hygiene at Sarum Dental

Gum disease is a major cause of tooth loss in adults, and tooth decay is a growing problem for children, even as young as four.

Bacteria thrive in the plaque and tartar on your teeth, causing gum irritation and bleeding. If left untreated, this condition eventually results in the gums becoming infected, which can cause the teeth to become loose.

Regular professional removal of bacteria and plaque by the hygienist is essential in maintaining healthy gums. Our hygienists are very experienced and, as well as cleaning and polishing your teeth, they will also give you advice on your diet and how to maintain a good oral hygiene routine at home.

FAQs

Can my Salisbury dentist do oral hygiene checks?

Our dentists are fully qualified in all aspects of oral hygiene, but our hygienists have undergone particular training in this area, meaning they focus on ensuring plaque and tartar are removed from both on the teeth themselves and from below the gum line, where most damage can be caused.

Can I do anything to prevent oral hygiene problems from occurring?

Maintaining a rigorous cleaning programme at home is vital if you want to minimise hygienist appointments. Our hygienist will give you advice and tips not only about how to clean your teeth, but also about diet and general lifestyle.

“I had a great check up with Neal today, it had been a long time and he knows I am a nervous patient. I felt at ease straight away and he has given me a plan on my dental care going forward, easy to follow without being told off. I look forward to regular check ups going forward and the other staff were very helpful and happy. Thank you so much!”

“Our whole family switched to Sarum Dental Practice after the pandemic and have been very pleased with the professionalism and friendliness of everyone at the practice. I had a first ever extraction today and it was quick, pain-free and a total non-event due to how calmly and expertly Neal carried out the procedure.”

“Just completed a dental implant undertaken by Dr Rajan Mehta at Sarum Dental Practice. It has been excellent throughout. Raj explained each step thoroughly. It is great to have the tooth back after about 15 years. I would highly recommend the service.”

“Fantastic service from start to finish. I felt so well looked after by the expert team and had honestly given up hope for one of my teeth before I came here: good as new now!”

Charles McGrath

“Raj has been excellent in identifying problem teeth and working out treatment plans, and I'm more than happy with the fillings/crown that have been fitted. As a private patient I've been able to book appointments at very short notice which is a breath of fresh air after years of NHS dental care. Definitely worthy of five stars!”

“I changed NHS dentists and this one is, after one visit, MUCH better than the last. A really good service... I wrote that about 6 years ago...still a patient here and it retains my, now unswerving, loyalty. The best review I can give it is that when having treatment I have twice gone to sleep, it's fantastic here.”
