In the UK and everywhere else, gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss. The food we eat, our dental activities and lack of proper dental hygiene can lead to various gum problems and diseases. When people develop or suffer from gum diseases, they should book appointments with dental hygienists for treatment and prevention of further damage or tooth loss.
Dental hygienists are dentists who have been specially trained on preventative oral hygiene and treatment of gum diseases. Their primary role is to prevent gum disease and to treat the gums when there is a case of a disease. The dentists do this by advising and demonstrating the right way to clean the teeth daily to prevent tooth decay. Advice may include the correct type of toothbrush to use, the proper technique on brushing teeth and how to use unique dental products like interdental brushes and floss. At Fulham Dental Centre London, we have some of London’s most qualified and experienced hygienists working with us. Reach out to us today.

Gum diseases are infections that set into the gums as a result of the accumulation of tartar and plaque on the teeth. When these diseases are not appropriately handled or treated on time, they build up and cause more serious dental problems like gingivitis, which can lead to tooth loss.
Everyone needs the services provided by a dental hygienist. It is the dental hygienists that will get rid of the plaque and tartar on the teeth, thereby preventing future gum diseases and protecting you from the onset of inflammation. It is crucial for people who wear braces also to visit their dental hygienists as often as possible. This is because cleaning around the mouth with braces can prove to be difficult, and this makes it easier for dirt and plague to set in. A visit to the hygienists will ensure the removal of plaque and tartar from areas that are difficult to clean.
Through the use of X-rays, dental hygienists can help your dentist with a diagnosis. If there is a gum disease, it will then be treated with fluoride treatments like fluoride varnish along with fissure sealants. After treatment, the prescription that follows will be handled by your dentist.
