Hygienist Treatments at Lee Dental Care

At Lee Dental Care, our hygienist treatments are essential for maintaining your oral health and preventing dental diseases. Our dedicated dental hygienists play a crucial role in providing professional cleaning and education to help you achieve optimal oral hygiene.

Importance of Regular Hygienist Visits

Regular visits to our hygienist are vital for preventing gum disease, cavities, and other dental issues. We recommend scheduling a hygienist appointment at least twice a year, although some patients may benefit from more frequent visits based on their oral health needs.

Comprehensive Cleaning Process

During your hygienist treatment at Lee Dental Care, our trained professionals perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. The cleaning process typically involves:

Plaque and Tartar Removal: Our hygienists meticulously remove plaque and tartar buildup from the surfaces of your teeth and below the gumline. This process helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
Scaling and Root Planing: If you exhibit signs of gum disease, we may perform scaling and root planing. This deep cleaning procedure targets bacteria beneath the gumline, promoting healthier gums.
Polishing: After cleaning, we polish your teeth, leaving them smooth and shiny, making it harder for plaque to accumulate.

Personalised Care for Your Dental Health

At Lee Dental Care, we focus on delivering tailored treatments that address your unique oral health needs, ensuring you receive the highest quality care for a healthier, more confident smile.

Brushing Techniques: Learn effective brushing techniques to ensure thorough plaque removal.
Flossing Guidance: Our team will demonstrate proper flossing methods to help you maintain healthy gums.
Dietary Advice: Discover foods and drinks that impact your oral health and learn about healthier choices to support your smile.

White Fillings

White fillings, made from tooth-coloured composite material, provide an aesthetic solution for cavities in visible areas. They bond directly to the tooth structure, preserving more of the natural tooth and offering a seamless look.

Consultations & Examinations

A consultation and examination are essential for oral health. This assessment includes a thorough evaluation of the teeth, gums, and surrounding structures to identify issues and discuss treatment options. Regular visits enable early problem detection, prevent dental diseases, and create personalised care plans.

Root Treatment

Root treatment, or root canal therapy, removes infection from the tooth's root canal, saving severely damaged or infected teeth. This procedure alleviates pain and restores normal function, preventing the need for extraction.
