Regular dental hygiene appointments can help keep your smile happy, healthy, and brighter than ever.
At Newholme Clinic, our highly trained team knows just how important good dental hygiene is. It is the foundation upon which good oral health is based and can mean the difference between a happy, healthy smile and one with tooth decay or gum disease.
FAQs
How often should I have a hygiene appointment?
Most patients use this service every six months or so. We recommend frequent visits in order to prevent the build-up of tartar and plaque, as this can lead to bacteria forming in the mouth, which in turn can cause infection and tooth decay.
What happens during a hygiene appointment?
At your regular dental hygiene appointments, our highly trained hygienists will assess your gum health, checking for any signs of gum disease before performing a thorough, professional clean. After, we’ll be able to help develop a personalised dental hygiene treatment routine based on your own unique needs.
Why is it important to regularly visit the dental hygienist?
With such regular visits, our hygienists will also be able to keep an eye on gum health. If gum disease is found to be present, we may recommend more frequent visits in order to get the gums back in good health through regular monitoring. In advanced cases, your hygienists and our dental team will work together to treat the issue.
What should I be doing at home to help my dental hygiene?
Our hygiene team will be able to design a personalised action plan if needed, but for all our patients, we recommend brushing the teeth twice a day for two minutes with a fluoride toothbrush, flossing regularly, and changing out your toothbrush or toothbrush head every three months.
I've been to a lot of dentists in my life, and can honestly say thatPedro, Ana and staff are the best. Everybody that I know goes there.If you can get in, then sign up; Ana is off on maternity leave, but thereis a kind and caring lady dentist covering for her.I used to really dread going to the dentist, but not any more.
I love this dental practice.We moved here 2 years ago and I felt very nervous to have to go to a different dentist.But Pedro put me at ease and has done amazing work for both me and my husband.
Does anyone like going to the dentist? Probably not but the dentists here do their best to make that experience as good as possible! The surgery is bright and clean with good reception staff. The dentist that I see is a fantastic man who clearly loves his job and does everything he can to make your appointment less tense and scary. I have had a couple of fillings and a root canal and crown and the work done has been very good.Visit this dentist, feel good about your teeth!
I am petrified of dentists but since going to this surgery I am overcoming my nerves. Both dentists are amazing, patient and kind and though not ever going to enjoy going to dentists the whole team make it bearable. I even get to choose the background music!Would thoroughly recommend!
Very professional , highly recommend always been careful and so polite , that couple dentists are just amazing , made my biggest nightmare - sitting on that dentist chair , just disappear. And the woman is just a star , definitely knows what she is doing. Thank You !
New owners are Portuguese, so don't get confused with dentists there from the past. I am terrified of dentists, but my teeth were in need of work, I had 2 painlessly removed and some other work all without pain. I have now got my wife going there who also is terrified of dentists but she like me had no pain having the work done. Without a doubt the best dentist I have used.
