Dental Hygiene Islington

At Islington Green Dental Practice, we prioritise your oral health by providing comprehensive dental hygiene appointments designed to keep your teeth, gums, and mouth in optimal condition. Regular visits to our hygienist are essential for maintaining a healthy smile and preventing potential oral health issues.

Why Are Dental Hygiene Appointments Important?

Routine dental hygiene care plays a vital role in your overall wellbeing. These appointments not only help you maintain a clean and healthy mouth but also significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Poor gum health has been linked to a range of serious medical conditions, such as:

• Arthritis
• Heart disease
• Strokes
• Diabetes
• Premature births

With up to 90% of people experiencing gum disease at some point in their lives, early intervention and proper care are crucial. At Islington Green Dental Practice, our hygiene services are tailored to provide you with expert care and practical advice, ensuring your mouth stays as healthy as possible.

What to Expect During Your Dental Hygiene Appointment

When you visit our practice for a hygiene appointment, our highly trained hygienist will focus on thoroughly cleaning your teeth and gums. This process involves removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria to help reduce inflammation and prevent gum disease.

Our hygienist will also assess your overall oral health, provide personalied advice on your brushing and flossing routine, and discuss lifestyle changes to promote healthier teeth and gums. The goal is to empower you with the tools and knowledge you need to maintain a beautiful, healthy smile for years to come.

EMS Air-Flow Therapy: A Revolutionary Dental Hygiene Treatment

At Islington Green Dental Practice, we are proud to offer the latest in dental hygiene technology with EMS Air-Flow Therapy. This innovative treatment goes beyond traditional scaling and polishing to provide a more effective, comfortable, and gentle cleaning experience.

Benefits of EMS Air-Flow Therapy

• Enhanced Cleaning: Removes both surface stains and subgingival biofilm that contribute to conditions like periodontitis, peri-implantitis, and tooth decay.
• Gentle Treatment: Air-Flow Therapy is less abrasive than traditional polishing methods, preserving the natural tooth structure.
• Quick and Thorough: Achieves better results in a shorter time compared to traditional methods.
• Effective for Complex Cases: Ideal for cleaning misaligned teeth, deep fissures, and fixed orthodontic appliances.
• Improved Gum Health: Reduces inflammation and supports long-term oral hygiene.

With EMS Air-Flow Therapy, your dental hygiene appointment will leave your teeth feeling cleaner and brighter than ever.
