Dental hygiene in Rugby and Dartford

At Kreate Dental we believe good oral hygiene is always important. Regular visits to our dental hygienist team will keep your smile looking great. Our dental hygienists are specially trained to provide an enhanced service that not only keeps your mouth healthy but encourages and motivates you to maintain this good oral hygiene long term. They will also show you how to maintain any dental restorations you may have, such as crowns, veneers and implants.

Of course, all good dental hygiene practice begins at home, where we recommend brushing your teeth for two minutes, twice a day, plus flossing regularly to help prevent gum disease.

Hygiene

What happens during a dental hygiene appointment?

During a dental hygienist treatment at our practice, our experienced dental hygienist will deep clean and scale your teeth and gums. This is effective at removing trapped food and plaque, and enables them to check for early signs of tooth decay.

Your appointment will conclude with your teeth being polished, so you leave our practice with a spotless smile and fresh breath.

Dental check-ups

Routine dental check ups at Kreate Dental include a visual examination of your teeth, gums and mouth, and an oral cancer screening. This enables your dentist to keep track of your oral health and spot potential problems early, before they become serious, and costly to treat.

Airflow® Tooth Polishing

Airflow tooth polishing at Kreate Dental

Our dental hygienists here in Rugby and Dartford use Airflow tooth polishing technology, a non-invasive, comfortable way to deeply cleanse your mouth, teeth and gums, leaving you with a dazzling smile.

Using a combination of air, sodium bicarbonate, and water, Airflow gently removes the build-up of plaque and any stains on your teeth. Designed to be gentle on the teeth and gums, this dental hygiene technique is even suitable for patients with sensitive teeth and can be used on dental restorative work like crowns, bridges, implants and braces.

How does it work?

Airflow® uses a unique combination of air, sodium bicarbonate, and water to remove the build-up of plaque, and any stains that might be present on the tooth enamel.

Can Airflow® be used on restorations?

Airflow® Tooth Polishing can not only be used on restorative work such as crowns, bridges, and implants but it can also be used on orthodontic brackets. The unique use of air and a controlled jet of water can remove debris that builds up with such dental treatments.

Is it painful?

Airflow® Tooth Polishing should not be painful. Some patients may well experience some discomfort, but it is designed to be gentle on the teeth and gums. It’s even suitable for those with sensitive teeth.
