Hygienist

Dental Hygiene/Therapy

As an award winning ex-forces trained dental nurse and latterly a top clinical award winning hygienist/therapist we are lucky to have Louise as part of our designated team.

Gentle, precise and thorough we maintain that not all hygienists are the same. So confident are we with her level of care and dedication, that if you are not happy we will offer your first session free. 

Louise helps the patients maintain the health of their gums. There is evidence to prove that the cleaner the teeth the longer your fillings will last, so good oral hygiene is essential. Louise is able to carry out your routine maintenance care (often known as a scale and polish) as well as more complex deep scaling for more advanced gum problems. She will advise the patients in how to keep their teeth clean and offer dietary advice as needed. As a trained therapist Louise can also take dental x rays, carry out simple restorations including fissure sealants and administer local anaesthetic where needed to make the treatment more comfortable.

We also offer a walk-in cleaning service for those patients not registered with the practice.

Stain removal

The most common causes of tooth staining are due to the everyday things that we enjoy such as tea, coffee, wine, nicotine etc. These stains can be stubborn and hard to remove.

Our dental hygienist will have your teeth stain-free and back to their natural colour within minutes with the use of the Prophy Jet system. It uses a stream of air, water and sodium bicarbonate to polish the enamel. This procedure can be carried out after your normal cleaning or on a separate visit. 

It is most effective, fast and totally pain free. It is great for a top-up between your regular maintenance cleans or for a special occasion.
