Dental Hygiene

The only way to keep your mouth and teeth healthy is to brush your teeth and floss daily.

Regular dental care check-ups and dental cleanings twice a year also help you maintain good dental hygiene.

Our Coach House Dental hygienist can clean your teeth professionally, preventing the onset of tooth decay and gum disease, and make your smile look brighter and more radiant.

What does the hygienist do?

At Coach House Dental, your hygienist removes stubborn plaque and tartar from your teeth and gum line using an ultrasonic scaler. Next, they polish your teeth with a special electrical toothbrush and high-grit toothpaste.

This process removes all surface stains, leaving your teeth feeling clean and fresh.

Your hygienist will end the treatment by flossing your teeth and discussing any areas of concern.

How can poor dental hygiene affect overall health?

Poor dental hygiene can cause cavities and gum disease which can impair your ability to speak and eat properly, causing discomfort of the mouth and bad breath.

Heart issues, diabetes, and pregnancy can all be adversely affected when you neglect your oral hygiene.

What is good dental hygiene?

Here are some important steps you can take daily to maintain good dental hygiene:

• Brushing your teeth thoroughly twice a day
• Flossing once or more per day after meals
• Rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash

Flossing helps to remove foods debris stuck inside the gaps of your teeth. Use a mouthwash to rinse your mouth and to keep your mouth free from bacteria.
