Dental Hygiene

Did you know that long term plaque build-up (and subsequent gum disease which happens when the bacteria in plaque attacks our gums below the surface to make them red and inflammed) is one of the most common causes of tooth decay and eventual tooth loss in the UK?

That's why, at Broughton Dental Practice, we recommend dental hygiene appointments at least every six months with our friendly and professional hygienist - Justine Fox. Playing an important part in reducing your oral health problems, your dental hygiene appointment will include the following:

• A gentle yet thorough clean of your teeth to remove the build-up of harmful plaque
• Removal of odour causing bacteria for a fresh breath
• Soft tissue checks to ensure healthy gums
• Advice on how to effectively brush and floss your teeth

We have a dental hygienist available five days a week at Broughton Dental Practice, and are therefore able to offer same day check-up and hygiene appointments for the convenience of our patients.

Justine is a fully qualified dental hygienist who is registered with the General Dental Council. As a dental professional, she is also committed to Continuous Professional Development and to keeping up to date with the latest advancements in oral health care techniques.
