Why see a dental hygienist?
Good oral hygiene matters not only for an attractive smile but for your general health. Plaque and tartar can build up in your mouth and lead to gum inflammation, cavities and even tooth loss. That can in turn affect other parts of your body, such as your cardiovascular system. Visiting the dental hygienist regularly can prevent these problems or get them treated in good time.
Prevention and keeping your mouth healthy
At Dental House Zierikzee we believe prevention is better than cure. That is why we focus on prevention and on keeping your mouth healthy. Our modern practice combines advanced technology with a warm approach, offering personal oral care to patients from Zierikzee, Kerkwerve, Ouwerkerk, Nieuwerkerk and the surrounding area.
Oral hygiene and prevention
The dental hygienist is a specialist in oral hygiene and prevention. Alongside the dentist, the hygienist is an important part of our team at Dental House Zierikzee. During a visit your teeth are cleaned, plaque and tartar are removed and your teeth are polished. Any problems can also be identified and treated early. All of this contributes to keeping your mouth healthy.
Root canal treatment
A root canal treatment is a common procedure for decay or inflammation. The inflamed tissue inside the tooth is removed and the root canal is cleaned and filled. At Dental House Zierikzee our experienced clinicians carry out this treatment efficiently and accurately.
Tips for a healthy mouth
Alongside regular visits to the dental hygienist, there are things you can do yourself to keep your mouth healthy. A few practical tips:
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day, ideally after every meal.
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and replace it every three months.
- Use a fluoride toothpaste for extra protection against cavities.
- Don't forget to clean between your teeth with floss or interdental sticks.
- Limit how often you eat and drink during the day to reduce acid attacks on your teeth.
Following these tips and visiting the dental hygienist regularly will help keep your mouth healthy and any problems addressed in good time.
