Dental Hygienist Cheadle

Everyone wants to have a great smile which is why good oral hygiene is important! Having poor oral hygiene can lead to a variety of dental and medical problems in the future such as gum disease, infection, bone loss, heart disease, strokes and more.

Our team of dental hygienists are on hand to give your teeth a deep clean using state of the art scale and polish techniques that make your mouth feel fantastic and your teeth really clean. We at Cheadle also offer help to patients of all ages and instruct them to clean their teeth more effectively. Our experts will advise you on which brushes, pastes, floss and other items to help keep your teeth and gums clean, fresh and free from disease.

They can also advise on other issues such as cracked or broken teeth, stains and bleeding gums. We recommend you visit our hygienist ahead of any complex dental procedures, such as implants or veneers so that your teeth are in as good a condition as possible before we proceed.

Here is a short list of important tips to help you on your way to healthier teeth right away.

How to clean your teeth

1. Proper Brushing

Both the gum line and the tooth surface should be in contact with the bristles. Brush the outer surfaces of the teeth using a back-and-forth, up-and-down motion, making sure to be done gently in order to avoid bleeding. However, if your work or activities prevent you from doing this, thoroughly rinse your mouth with water after eating to minimize the amount of food that would serve as a substrate for the bacteria.

2. Flossing

We know, it’s a chore and a lot of times forgetful after brushing if rushing out the door or heading to bed. However, flossing can help you remove food particles and other detrimental substances that brushing regularly cannot. Flossing allows you to reach deep between your teeth where the toothbrush bristles cannot reach or even mouthwash cannot wash away. We recommend flossing at least once a day.

3. Limit Sodas, Coffee and Alcohol

This causes dental hygiene problems such as tooth decay and gum disease. It is best to choose beverages like milk, which helps strengthen teeth and build stronger enamel, giving you a healthy, beautiful smile and water which hydrates your body longer than sugary drinks.

 

4. Consume Calcium and other Vitamins that are good for the body

You need plenty of calcium for your teeth. It is essential for the teeth as well as your bones. It is better to drink milk, fortified orange juice and to eat yoghurt, broccoli, cheese, and other dairy products. You can also take a calcium supplement, taking different doses according to your age and necessity as per prescription.

5. Regular visits to your Dentist

You should visit your dentist at least twice a year to have full hygiene treatment performed. Also at these appointments, a comprehensive exam is taken with x-rays to help detect and prevent future dental treatments from occurring.

6. Use Mouthwash alongside brushing and flossing

Mouthwash can help maintain good breath as well as help maintain strong teeth. Mouthwash cannot do all the work but if you are already brushing, flossing, visiting the dentist and eating well, mouthwash is the cherry on top that will make your dental health great.

 7. Clean your tongue

We recommend that you clean the surface of your tongue daily. By using a professional tongue cleaner you remove countless bacteria that otherwise live, particularly on the rougher top surface of your tongue. These can contribute to bad breath and negatively affect your dental health.

What Our Patients Say?

Dear Dr Shabs. This is just a note to say thank you SO MUCH for everything you’ve done for me and my disasterous teeth! Ever since I smashed my front teeth in freshers week I felt like I’ve been in the best possible hands! However, I’ve just finished a teaching course and am going to go and teach English in Jordan in two weeks time and therefore have had to register somewhere else 🙁 Whenever I’m back living in Manchester again though, I’ll be back. Cheers again, Helen (the one who does Arabic)

FAQ's

Our dental hygienists can talk you through good oral and dental care and provide you with advice and leaflets to take away. We can also recommend toothbrushes and other dental products to suit your needs.

We like to see patients at least twice a year for a hygienist appointment, however the ideal space of time between appointments is three months to prevent the buildup of tartar or plaque.

Of course, our hygienists love to see your younger patients and can help them establish good tooth-brushing habits from an early age.
