What happens at my hygiene appointment?
We will remove any tartar build-up and then check the whole oral area, including teeth, gums, throat and neck. If any issues are found, we will then discuss treatment options with you, creating a treatment plan that provides you with clear information including treatment costs.
For children, your dentist in W1 can also teach your child successful brushing techniques and help them understand the importance of good hygiene. We also recommend a couple of preventive measures that safeguard their dental health.
Fluoride treatment
Fluoride coating involves the dentist soaking your child’s teeth in fluoride for several minutes. This protects your child’s teeth against decay, mineralising them and making them stronger.
Fissure sealants
This is another recommended preventive measure that safeguards your child’s teeth. This is extremely effective in stopping decay as it completely covers their teeth, sealing them and protecting them like a rain coat. It is also tooth coloured, so discreet.
Visiting your dentist in W1 regularly is sound investment for you and for your children’s future. Preventive dentistry maintains your oral health along with that of your child. Don’t delay, book your hygiene appointment as soon as possible.
