Hygiene

At Crescent Lodge Dental Practice in Clapham, we believe dental hygiene to be one of the most important services we provide. Our team of dental hygienists in Clapham have a mission: to ensure that your teeth and gums remain in optimal health.

To make things more convenient for you, we offer back-to-back dental health assessments and hygiene appointments, meaning you’ll receive thorough care from both dental professionals in a single visit. You’re welcome to visit our hygiene team as often as you like, without seeing a dentist first. You also don’t have to be a registered patient to visit our hygienists.

Our dental hygiene services are available from 8.00am – 7.30pm every weekday and from 9am – 4.30pm on Saturdays. In order that you can visit at your convenience, we usually have 2 or 3 hygienists working at any one time.

Maintaining Your Dental Health

Dental hygiene is a preventative measure and so we recommend regular appointments to keep your dental health at its best. Frequent visits allow us to keep an eye on the health of your gums and prevent any gum disease from spreading. Dental hygiene is also a crucial part of preventing bad breath.

During a hygiene appointment at our dentist in Clapham Common, your hygienist will remove any plaque and tartar that may have built up in certain areas, such as in between your teeth. Your teeth will then be professionally cleaned with special equipment and a paste that adds extra sparkle. We’ll also use our intraoral cameras to show the true condition of your teeth and gums.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hygiene appointments are integral to maintaining your dental health and keeping your teeth and gums clean. Your appointments will also allow us to treat the different stages of gum disease and prevent any other issues before they develop further.

It depends on the individual, some people are more prone to gum disease and some people find it harder to keep their teeth clean. If your oral hygiene is good, we recommend booking an appointment with your dentist in Clapham every 6 months, or if you are more prone, we recommend it as often as every 3 months.

Gum disease is very common in the UK but it often goes unnoticed until it becomes severe. Common symptoms to look out for include a swollen and red appearance to the gums, and tenderness and bleeding while brushing. Another common sign is the receding of the gums, and the feeling that your teeth are becoming looser.

At Crescent Lodge Dental Practice in London, Hygiene appointments don’t usually cause any pain, but some patients experience some sensitivity. If you experience sensitivity, be sure to let our hygienists know, and they will try alternative methods that may reduce discomfort. In extreme cases, or where deeper cleaning is required, we can offer a topical anaesthetic that will numb the area and make treatment more comfortable.
