Hygiene appointments are more than just a quick teeth cleaning. They play a crucial role in maintaining your overall health. Here are the key benefits:

Oral Health Benefits

  1. Plaque & Tartar Removal
    Regular brushing and flossing can’t remove all plaque and tartar, especially in hard-to-reach areas. Hygienists use special tools to deep clean and prevent decay and gum disease.
  2. Prevention of Gum Disease
    Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) is reversible, but it can progress to periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss. Cleanings help keep gums healthy.
  3. Early Detection of Dental Issues
    Hygienists often spot early signs of cavities, infections, or even oral cancer, leading to quicker (and often less expensive) treatments.

Fresh Breath & Aesthetic Boost

  1. Better Breath
    A clean mouth = fresher breath. Bacteria trapped under the gumline or on the tongue can cause persistent bad breath.
  2. Whiter Teeth
    While not the same as whitening treatments, professional cleanings remove surface stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, etc.

Overall Health Benefits

  1. Lower Risk of Systemic Diseases
    Poor oral health has been linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and even Alzheimer’s. Keeping your mouth healthy supports your whole body.
  2. Reduced Inflammation
    Gum inflammation contributes to chronic inflammation in the body. Regular cleanings help reduce this risk.

Financial Benefits

  1. Preventative Care Saves Money
    Catching issues early is much cheaper than treating advanced decay, gum disease, or replacing teeth. Speak to the reception team about spreading the cost through Denplan.

How Often?

Most people benefit from a cleaning every 6 months, but those with gum issues might need them more often (every 3–4 months). If you are thinking of skipping your next appointment – don’t! Regular cleanings really do pay off in the long run.
