Hygienist Services

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile, and visiting a dental hygienist is one of the best ways to protect them. At Sharples Dental Practice in Bolton, our hygienist services are designed not only to treat existing problems such as gum disease but also to prevent issues from developing in the first place. Whether you need a routine scale and polish or tailored periodontal treatment, our friendly team is here to help you maintain excellent oral health.

What You Can Expect From a Visit to the Hygienist

1. Expert Care for Gum Health

Our hygienists are specially trained in identifying and treating gum-related concerns. Gum disease often begins silently, but with their expertise, early warning signs can be spotted and treated before they cause long-term damage. This proactive approach allows for timely intervention and prevents the progression of gum disease, protecting your gums and teeth from potential damage.

2. Deep Cleaning

Even with daily brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in areas that are hard to reach. During your appointment, our hygienists will carry out a professional scale and polish, using advanced tools to remove plaque deposits and leave your teeth feeling fresh, smooth, and clean.

3. Tailored Gum Disease Treatments

If gum disease is present, our dental hygienists can tailor periodontal treatments to address the severity of the condition. From mild gingivitis to advanced periodontitis, they will create a personalised treatment plan to alleviate gum inflammation, control infection, and promote healing. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor progress and adjust treatments as necessary.

The Benefits of Regular Hygienist Appointments

• Education and Prevention: Every visit gives you the chance to learn more about the best way to care for your teeth and gums at home. Small changes in daily habits can make a big difference.
• Gentle and Comfortable Treatments: Our hygienists are known for their caring approach. Whether you’re nervous about dental treatment or simply want reassurance, we’ll make your appointment as comfortable as possible.
• Time and Money Savings: Preventive care saves time and money in the long run. Addressing gum issues early can help you avoid the need for more complex, and often more expensive, treatments later in life.
