We Can Get Your Oral Health Back On Track

Wednesday, December 10th, 2014

If you’ve been struggling with dental pain, you have early signs of gum disease or you simply want to make a resolution to work harder to achieve good oral health in the New Year, our amazing hygienists can help. Dental hygiene treatments are the perfect tonic for existing dental conditions, as well as being an effective preventative treatment for those with a clean bill of oral health.

Dental hygiene for gum disease

If you have gum disease or you have high risk of developing gum disease, visits to the dental hygienist are highly recommended. Our hygienists work with our dentists to provide expert care for patients fighting the symptoms of gum disease; our aim is to free you from pain and treat the condition so that it is unable to progress. In cases of mild gum disease, oral hygiene treatment is usually sufficient; however, if gum disease is left untreated, gum disease can become more severe and much harder to treat. An effective treatment for gum disease is a scale and polish.

Dental hygiene sessions can also be hugely beneficial for patients who suffer from bad breath.

Preventative dental hygiene treatment

Seeing a hygienist is not just beneficial for patients who suffer with oral health issues; it can also be really effective in the quest to keep dental diseases at bay. Not only will seeing a hygienist on a regular basis reduce your risk of developing decay or gum disease; it will also ensure your teeth look healthy, bright and clean.

Why Book A Dental Hygienist Appointment?

Sunday, November 9th, 2014

Most people are aware of the benefits of regular routine check-ups; however, the benefits of seeing a dental hygienist on a regular basis may be less well-known. We have an excellent team of hygienists on hand to help you enjoy good oral health, a clean and sparkling smile and fresh breath. We strongly recommend regular dental hygiene sessions in addition to routine check-ups.

What do dental hygienists do and how could I benefit?

Dental hygienists are experts in providing oral hygiene and preventative dental treatments. Hygienists provide a range of treatments, including scale and polish, bad breath treatment, sealant treatment, gum disease management and fluoride varnish. Even if you have excellent standards of oral health and you are completely free from signs of decay or gum disease, you could still benefit from hygiene sessions because they help to reduce the risk of problems developing in the future, as well as giving your teeth a healthy glow.

We recommend preventative hygiene treatments for children, including fluoride varnish and sealant treatment. These treatments are designed to strengthen and protect the teeth and reduce the risk of cavities. Fluoride is a mineral, which hardens the animal, while sealant treatment creates a barrier between food debris and bacteria and the tiny pits in the biting surface of the teeth.

Seeing a hygienist is particularly beneficial for those with existing gum disease, a high risk of developing gum disease and patients who suffer from halitosis (bad breath).

How often should I see a dental hygienist?

We recommend an annual visit to the hygienist if you have a clean bill of oral health. If you have gum disease or you are seeking treatment for bad breath or you are prone to decay, we will probably recommend more frequent sessions.

Banish Bacteria Before It Causes Dental Disaster And Halitosis

Saturday, October 18th, 2014

There are some bacteria, which are essential for good health, but others are downright nasty and we need to banish them before they contribute to dental disasters.

Good oral hygiene

Good oral hygiene is the best form of defence against harmful bacteria. With an effective regime of brushing and flossing, you can maximise your chances of good oral health. Ideally, you should brush every morning and evening for at least 2-3 minutes each time and floss daily; it’s important to do this to remove bacteria from your mouth and reduce the risk of plaque forming. Plaque is a sticky film, which is made when bacteria, food debris and saliva come together. Plaque is the most common cause of gum disease and decay.

Bacteria and halitosis

Halitosis (bad breath) is a very common problem, which is almost always associated with oral bacteria. When bacteria feed, they give off gases, which smell very unpleasant and this is why you get bad breath. Smoking and taking some types of medication can also increase the risk of halitosis. The best way to prevent bad breath is to stick to a good daily oral hygiene regime and to chew sugar-free gum after eating. It is also highly beneficial to see a dental hygienist in addition to your routine dental check-ups.

Dental checks

Dental appointments are really important because they enable your dentist to keep tabs on the mouth and identify any dental issues at an early stage. Dentists can then arrange any relevant treatment and they can also give the mouth a good clean, which removes surface stains to give the teeth a healthy white glow.

Don’t Let The Horror Of Halitosis Take You In Its Clutches

Saturday, August 23rd, 2014

Do you feel self-conscious when you stand up to present at work or meet somebody for the first time? Are you conscious that you have bad breath but you don’t know what to do about it? At City Dental Leeds we have experience in treating bad breath and our excellent dentists and dental hygienists will soon have you feeling confident and smelling fresh.

What causes halitosis?

Halitosis is the medical name for bad breath. Most people have experience of bad breath in the morning or after eating particularly strong foods, but if you suffer from odorous breath on a regular basis, there may be an underlying cause. In most cases, bad breath is linked to bacteria collecting in the mouth, which results from poor oral hygiene. If you don’t brush your teeth twice a day and floss, bacteria are allowed to gather and collect in the mouth and reproduce and this causes unpleasant odours, as they release gases when they feed.

Smoking and taking medication can also contribute to bad breath.

How we can help

Bad breath doesn’t need to set you back; with our powerful cleaning treatments and professional advice, we can help you to overcome these problems and enable you to face day to day life with confidence.

The best course of action for bad breath is usually regular hygiene sessions, which are provided by our incredible dental hygienists. Hygienists offer cleaning treatments, which are designed to blitz the mouth and rid bacteria, leaving your mouth feeling lovely and clean and your teeth looking sparkly and smooth.

We can also offer advice about brushing and flossing at home and we are on hand to make recommendations about oral hygiene products.

How Can A Hygienist Help Me Here In Heartland Leeds?

Sunday, May 4th, 2014

Many people are aware of the benefits of having a check-up every 6-9 months, but you may not be as familiar with the advantages of seeing a dental hygienist. Our amazing hygienists offer a wide range of treatments and services and regular sessions can be highly beneficial for all patients, including those who already have good oral health.

How could a hygienist help me?

If you have gum disease, you are at risk of developing gum disease or you have issues such as bad breath or staining, seeing a dental hygienist on a regular basis is extremely beneficial. Your hygienist will be able to provide you with cleaning treatments, which are much more powerful than brushing at home and this removes stubborn stains, plaque and tartar to reduce the risk of gum disease progressing and treat halitosis.

Even if you already have good oral health and there are no signs of decay or gum disease, you can still benefit from seeing a dental hygienist. Cleaning treatments will reduce your risk of developing oral health issues, keep your teeth lovely and clean and remove surface stains, which can build up even if you are very diligent with your oral hygiene regime at home.

Hygienist treatments

Hygienists offer a range of different treatments, including cleaning treatments, preventative treatments and information and education about oral hygiene, healthy eating and diet, giving up smoking and children’s oral health.

The most common treatment for issues such as bad breath and plaque and tartar formation is a scale and polish; this removes deposits from the teeth and gum line and cleans the teeth to give them a healthy looking glow.

Preventative treatments are often recommended for children and include fluoride varnish and fissure sealant treatment, both of which are designed to lower the risk of decay. Tooth decay is one of the most prevalent preventable diseases in children and these are safe, simple, painless and quick measures that can really help to protect the teeth. Fluoride strengthens the enamel, while fissure sealant treatment creates a protective barrier between the tooth and food debris and bacteria; the sealant prevents these from getting stuck in the tiny pits and cracks on the tooth surface.

Should I see a dental hygienist?

Monday, February 24th, 2014

You’re probably aware that you should see a dentist for a check-up every 6 months, but have you ever thought about going to see a dental hygienist? Many people think that they only need to see a dental hygienist if their dentist tells them to, but you can now book appointments directly with a hygienist without a referral from your dentist. Seeing a dental hygienist is beneficial for a number of reasons, not least because you can enjoy the amazing feel of a deep dental clean. When you emerge from a session with a dental hygienist, your teeth will look healthy and bright and they will also feel lovely and smooth; if you’ve noticed some mild surface staining and you don’t want to pay for tooth whitening, cleaning can have a dramatic impact on the look of your teeth. Seeing a hygienist is very important and beneficial for people who have gum disease or those who have a high risk of developing gingivitis or periodontal disease; hygienists work in tandem with dentists to provide intensive cleaning treatments, such as scale and polish, to remove plaque, tartar and bacteria from the mouth ad prevent the infection from spreading. Hygienists can also help with tackling bad breath and they also provide preventative treatments for children. You can also benefit from seeing a hygienist if you have questions about oral hygiene, or you are hoping to give up smoking.

Hugging your Hygienist in the City of Leeds

Wednesday, November 21st, 2012

As dentistry has progressed, a lot of work that the ‘average Jo’ dentist once did to cover all of your problems has now been sub contracted out to specialised fields in order that you, the patient, gets the best possible treatment in order to keep your mouth healthy and behind every good dentist these days in the city of Leeds these days, you will find a beautiful hygienist following closely behind. Yes your dentist will check you for the basic problems, but it is your hygienist that will get up close and personal with you. These are the people you really want to get on board with if you have concerns about your oral health. They can clean your teeth and gums by going deep below the gum line in a way you’d never thought possible, and then treat any disease in your mouth. They will take x-rays first so that they can ascertain problems so that they know exactly what needs doing, and if they can’t do it, point you to someone that can. But the best thing about a hygienist is that once they have evaluated your problems, they will help you to pinpoint where you have gone wrong and ensure that it doesn’t happen again by planning a future for you; from what you eat to what you do on a daily basis. A hygienist is all about your oral health from now and in the future.
