At Manor House Dental, we believe healthy teeth are the foundation for a healthy you. That’s why we focus on prevention, helping you avoid problems before they start!
Dental hygiene refers to the practices and habits that keep your teeth, gums, and mouth healthy. We believe in proactive dental care that prioritises preventing problems before they arise.
We understand that oral hygiene is crucial for not only your dental health but also your overall well-being. That’s why we recommend regular dental checkups and hygiene treatments to ensure your mouth, teeth, and gums stay in optimal condition.
Maintaining good dental hygiene goes beyond just a pretty smile. It offers a multitude of benefits, including:
Preventing cavities and tooth decay: Plaque buildup leads to cavities, which can cause pain, infection, and even tooth loss.
Reducing gum disease: Gingivitis and periodontitis, common gum diseases, can damage gums and bone, impacting overall health.
Fresher breath: Regular brushing and flossing eliminate bacteria that cause bad breath.
Boosted confidence: A healthy smile can enhance self-esteem and social interaction.
We’ll check your teeth and gums, identifying areas needing extra attention and discussing potential risks.
Using specialised tools and gentle techniques, we’ll meticulously remove plaque and tartar from even the hard-to-reach areas.
Our hygienists are passionate about empowering you with the knowledge to maintain a healthy smile. We’ll demonstrate proper brushing techniques, flossing tips, and interdental brush usage.
Good hygiene keeps harmful bacteria at bay, preventing gum inflammation and painful conditions like gingivitis and periodontitis. Healthy gums not only contribute to a vibrant smile but also support strong teeth and overall oral health.
Stained teeth can be a confidence drain, but good oral hygiene can keep your smile sparkling naturally. By removing plaque and food particles that cause discolouration, you maintain the pearly white beauty of your teeth. Smile with confidence knowing your oral hygiene routine is working wonders!
Good oral hygiene is a long-term investment in your smile. By preventing cavities and gum disease, you reduce the need for expensive dental procedures like fillings, crowns, or even extractions.
For over 40 years, our friendly team has been creating a warm and welcoming environment where you can relax and trust you’re in good hands. We’re dedicated to providing exceptional dental care, using the latest technology to ensure accurate diagnosis and comfortable procedures. Whether you need a routine checkup or specialised treatment, your smile is our top priority.
Getting your teeth cleaned at the dentist should be a comfortable experience. If there is any gum disease present, the process might be slightly uncomfortable. Make sure you let your dentist or hygienist know if you start to feel discomfort from your treatment.
You should schedule your next teeth cleaning whenever every 3 months to once a year depending on your oral and dental hygiene.
We recommend electric toothbrushes because they are the most effective for an accurate cleaning.
Plaque and tartar will be removed from your teeth during your cleaning appointment by an instrument called a plaque scraper.
We recommend that you don’t attempt to scrape tartar and plaque from your teeth. This could do unintentional damage to your teeth.
