Our dental therapist Michelle is fully qualified and registered as practising dental hygienist. She specialises in preventative education and periodontal (gum) treatment and maintenance in both our Stoke and Mapua branches here in Nelson.
If you have unhealthy gums you may notice one or more of the following:
- Gums looking red or spongy
- Receding gums
- Blood or pus coming from your gums
- Experiencing loose or missing teeth
- Bad breath
PREVENTATIVE CARE
Preventative care and education is something we strongly emphasize to reduce the likelihood of more extensive dental treatments in future years. At your dental hygiene visit our hygienists will discuss:
- Dental cleaning aids such as interproximal brushes, electric tooth brushes, soft bristled brushes, water flossers, and mouth washes.
- Dental cleaning techniques.
- Dietary advice.
- Tooth strengthening products if you are at risk of decay, erosion and wear.
MAINTAINING HEALTHY GUMS
Our hygienists will also treat any active gum disease and provide regular maintenance services to keep your gums healthy. Common procedures performed by our hygienists:
- Full mouth charting of the degree of gum disease to enable monitoring of your condition after treatment
- Treatment of gum inflammation and periodontal disease
- Teeth scaling and polishing
- Removal of surface staining
