You won’t believe just how clean and fresh your mouth will feel after dental hygiene treatments at Edge Dental Care. Our range of hygiene services will help keep your teeth sparkling and your gums healthy.
A clean and healthy mouth improves your appearance, gives you fresh breath and improves your long term dental health. Attending regular dental hygiene appointments at Edge Dental Care and following the advice for your homecare routine will keep your teeth and gums in tip top condition.
Hygiene therapy focuses on the prevention of periodontal disease (gum disease), which affects the gums and bone supporting your teeth. Without regular cleaning, plaque sits in the space between the tooth and the gum and will eventually create pockets around the tooth where further plaque and tartar deposits can collect. Pockets are difficult to keep clean and gum disease will get worse if treatment is not carried out.
Your dental hygienist will provide oral hygiene advice plus remove stains, hard deposits and plaque from the most hard to reach areas of your teeth.
Your teeth will be professionally cleaned with special equipment and pastes, a process also known as scaling and polishing. Your hygienist will also provide advice on preventing gum disease, as well as showing you the best brushing techniques to keep your teeth free of plaque.

Periodontics is the treatment of periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease.
Gum disease affects the gums, bone and ligaments that support your teeth. These structures are the foundations which enable you to keep your teeth for life, but they can be damaged by bacterial infection.
If left untreated gum disease can progress into a more serious condition, called periodontitis. In cases of periodontitis, the deeper structures of the tooth supporting apparatus, including the jaw bone and the connecting ligaments, can be destroyed. Without treatment the supporting structures may receded to such an extent that the teeth can be lost. In fact, periodontitis is the main reason of tooth loss in adults over the age of 45 in the U.K.
Treatment of periodontal disease starts with an experienced dentist examining the gum tissue and diagnosing the type and stage of the underlying gum disease. The aim of periodontal treatment is to stop disease progression helping you keep your natural teeth. More severe cases may need specialist treatment with a periodontist.
