Every dental disease and problem initially stems in one way or another from a collection of bacteria or plaque in a vulnerable site within the mouth. Plaque can lead to gum inflammation, bleeding gums, unsightly stains and bad breath. A regular clean with a dental hygienist is in our view the most important treatment that we can offer a patient as prevention is undoubtedly better than cure!

What is Dental Hygiene Treatment?

Dental hygiene treatment refers to the practice of keeping your teeth and gums clean to prevent oral issues such as periodontal disease, tooth decay, and bad breath. Clean teeth help prevent the build-up of dental plaque, which is a major contributor to these conditions. Regular plaque and debris removal by a dental hygienist maintains optimal oral health between dentist check-ups.

Benefits of Dental Hygiene for Oral Health

Maintaining good dental hygiene offers numerous benefits. It helps prevent plaque build-up, reduces the risk of periodontal disease, effectively removes stains and improves overall gum health.

Air flow dental cleaning can also enhance the appearance of your teeth by removing surface stains. This can result in a brighter and fresh smile, and airflow treatments can provide temporary teeth whitening for special occasions such as weddings or holidays. Regular hygiene appointments not only maintain a healthier smile but also contribute to your overall wellbeing by reducing the risk of systemic issues linked to poor oral care.

Importance of Preventing Periodontal Disease

Preventing gum disease is essential for maintaining not only a healthy mouth but also your overall wellbeing. Gum disease, if left unchecked, can lead to loose teeth or potentially loosing natural teeth, and even contribute to more serious health conditions. At Zental, we understand that healthier teeth are the foundation for preventing gum disease and its complications.

Regular dental hygiene appointments and airflow teeth cleaning are powerful tools in the fight against gum disease. By using fine powder particles, airflow teeth cleaning gently removes plaque and stubborn stains from the gum line areas that are often missed by brushing alone. This minimally invasive treatment is especially beneficial for those with sensitive teeth, as it effectively removes bacteria and debris without causing discomfort.

Gum disease has been linked to increased risks of heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic health issues, making prevention even more important. Stain removal is not just about aesthetics; surface stains can harbor bacteria that contribute to tooth decay and gum problems. Airflow teeth cleaning targets these persistent stains, helping to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Dental Hygiene Process

When you visit a Zental dental practice, our skilled dental hygienist will carry out a full assessment of your oral health, followed by a scale and polish using advanced ultrasonic tools. This process removes plaque, tartar, and stains, leaving your teeth polished and mouth feeling fresh.

For a deeper clean, airflow treatment use a combination of water compressed air and sodium bicarbonate (or fine powder) to remove plaque, stains, and harmful bacteria from the teeth and gum line. The airflow unit and airflow nozzle deliver innovative spray technology for more efficient cleaning, especially in hard-to-reach areas such as periodontal pockets and around exposed dentine tubules. Airflow polishing, compared to traditional methods, does not require direct contact with the teeth, which enhances patient comfort. We also offer comfort sedation alongside airflow therapy, which is ideal for the most nervous patient.

Airflow polishing is a gentle, non-invasive method that effectively remove stains and debris, contributing to improved oral health. Airflow cleaning and teeth cleaning work at Zental are the foundation of our core belief that prevention is better than cure!

You will also receive personalised advice on brushing, flossing, and diet to help maintain your oral hygiene at home. Regular airflow dental hygiene appointments help remove plaque and debris, maintain a brighter smile, and support long-term oral health.
