Dental Hygienist & Dental Hygiene Services in London

Brushing and flossing are essential, but they alone can't remove plaque buildup between your teeth and around your gums. An excellent dental regimen should include at-home care and regular cleanings with a dental hygienist. An experienced hygienist at Cosmo Dental Centre in London will remove this plaque with specialized instruments.

Benefits of Seeing a Dental Hygienist in London

Visiting a dental hygienist at our London clinic has many benefits, including:

​

  1. ​It helps prevent oral health issues. Regular dental visits help prevent significant oral health problems, such as gum disease, tooth decay, cancer, and other illnesses.

  2. You’ll have a brighter smile. Plaque and tartar build-up on your teeth can cause discolouration over time. With regular cleanings by your dental hygienist, you’ll feel more confident about flashing your pearly whites in public.

  3. It helps maintain fresh breath. Professional dental cleaning prevents germs from accumulating and keeps your mouth healthy and your breath fresh.

  4. It saves money. Routine checkups and X-rays safeguard you against tooth disorders that might go undiscovered, which can develop into expensive conditions to repair and treat.

  5. You’ll learn how to better care for your teeth. If you have braces or other orthodontic devices, a dental hygienist can teach you how to best clean and care for them.

Cosmo Dental Centre’s Dental Hygienist Services in London: What to Expect

Here's what you can expect during a dental hygienist appointment:

  1. Oral hygiene assessment. The appointment begins with a review of your medical and dental history to identify any medical conditions or medications that might affect your oral health. Then, a comprehensive examination of your head, neck, tongue, gums, teeth, and other mouth areas will be conducted.

  2. Scaling. This step involves the removal of plaque and tartar build-up from your teeth and below the gumline.

  3. Polishing and stain removal. After scaling, your teeth are polished to remove surface stains and make your teeth look and feel smoother. Polishing is typically done using a polishing paste and a cup or brush.

  4. Desensitization and fluoride treatment. If you have sensitive teeth, fluoride may be applied to strengthen tooth enamel and reduce the risk of demineralization. Your hygienist might also provide desensitizing treatments.

  5. Sealants. Dental sealants are thin resin coatings that fill deep grooves and fissures to reduce the risk of tooth decay. Not everyone may need sealants, so your hygienist will assess whether this measure suits you.

  6. Mouthguards and sport guards. If you require a mouthguard or sports guard to protect your teeth during physical activities, the hygienist can take impressions of your teeth to create a custom-fitted guard.​
     

You don’t require a local anesthetic because our approach is painless. However, if there’s any kind of gum damage or condition, our dentist will administer something to numb the spot.

Your Daily Dental Hygiene Routine

Maintaining a daily dental hygiene routine is crucial for optimal oral health. Here's what you should include in your routine:

  • Brushing: Brush your teeth at least twice daily using fluoride and a soft-bristled toothbrush. Make sure to brush for at least two minutes each time.

  • Flossing: Daily, remove plaque and food particles between your teeth and below the gumline, where your toothbrush can't reach.

  • Mouthwash: Use an antiseptic or fluoride to help kill bacteria and strengthen your teeth.

  • Healthy diet: Eat a balanced diet low in sugary snacks and drinks to help prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

  • Regular dental visits: Visit your dental hygienist at least every six months for professional cleanings and checkups.
