The work of a Hygienist in South East London

25 / 05 / 2012

Behind every good dentist in south east London, you will find an equally ‘hot’ hygienist ready to spring into action and look after you. The work done directly concerns the oral hygiene of the patient from all angles this will begin with patient assessment which will involve medical history and a full oral probing and x-rays to ascertain any problems that need to be addressed and once any diagnosis has been made, an plan will be drawn and then put into practise for treatment. This will involve such activities as deep cleaning by scaling and root planning, the placement of dental sealants and the applying of fluoride to the teeth. But among the many talents that hygienists have, the most important one is the ability to plan ahead and ensure that you are giving your teeth and gums the best chances in life. Each patient is different so this advice will be tailored to the individual based on what the hygienist has evaluated during the treatment. They will advise on dietary issues, cleaning techniques and the use of herbal remedies in your everyday regime; no stone is left unturned by the hygienist and this can only be good for long-term health of you and your mouth.
