Dental hygiene

Good oral hygiene is the first step in ensuring that you have a bright healthy smile… for life. At Green Park Dental we take oral hygiene very seriously and our professional hygienists are happy to offer advice on maintaining a good oral health routine, as well as lifestyle tips that will help keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Your hygiene appointment

We recommend regular visits with one of our expert hygienists for the best preventative care. At your appointment your hygienist will give your teeth and gums a detailed check – looking for any signs of gum disease, such as inflammation, bleeding gums or plaque build up. They will then give your teeth a thorough clean and a scale and polish, to remove all plaque and calculus. They will also be able to offer comprehensive advice on a daily hygiene routine that you can follow at home.

Your daily oral health routine

As part of your daily routine you should brush your teeth morning and night with a fluoride toothpaste, ensuring that you are cleaning all surfaces of your teeth and gently massaging the gum margins, use an interdental aid such as floss or interdental brush to remove plaque from between your teeth and also use a mouthwash to target those hard to reach areas between your teeth. You could also invest in an electric toothbrush. We have toothbrushes, mouthwash and floss all available to buy at the Practice.

Gum disease

Gum disease affects a large percentage of adults in the UK. Preventing gum disease is not only beneficial for the health of your teeth and gums, but gum disease has also been linked to other serious medical conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. Our hygienists can help you to keep your teeth and gums healthy, with regular hygienist appointments, and advice on following a good oral health routine and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Having avoided dental treatment for several years because of previous bad experiences and the anxiety connected to that I was unable to avoid it any longer. I signed up with Josie Muirhead-Smith at Green Park Dental Practice. As well as the dental anxiety I'm also autistic so everything is more difficult before I even arrive for an appointment.<br>I was given an initial checkup and a printed treatment plan which was daunting as I needed a lot of treatment but I was able to space out each individual treatment to suit me. As for the appointments, Josie is incredibly patient and gives me the reassurance and time to process throughout the whole appointment. She explains what she's going to do and asks throughout how I'm doing pausing if needed. She, along with the dental nurse works quietly and professionally to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. I can't recommend her highly enough especially if you have any sort of anxiety or additional needs.

All very friendly

Really happy for the extra level of treatment I received, not only was the cleaning treatment very efficient but was less painful than previous times and I asked whether the water was warm and told yes their new system gently warms the water. I was given a special paste tooth rub which would identify any plaque which would turn pink. I was also given x rays to try to identify what was causing a random ache in one of my back teeth. In addition I was also given a prescription for both dry mouth and some fluoride toothpaste . Thanks
