Dental hygiene is a huge part of maintaining a healthy smile and preventing dental diseases.

Over time, your teeth will accumulate deposits of plaque (a soft, sticky layer of bacteria, food & saliva) and hard tartar (calculus). As part of your hygiene visit, we will remove these deposits and give you expert advise on how to minimise the build up in between your visits.

The benefits of visiting your dental hygienist at Village Dental:

Dental Cleanings: Regular dental cleanings are essential for maintaining oral health. Professional dental cleanings help remove plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. It also leaves you with a fresh, clean feeling and helps to prevent bad breath.
Gum Disease Treatment: Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common oral health issue that can lead to serious consequences if left untreated. The hygienist can check for signs and symptoms of gum disease and offer you various treatments, such as scaling and root planing, to address the condition promptly.
