Smile Dental Clinic, Great Yarmouth
Dental hygienist in Great Yarmouth
Regular hygiene visits are one of the simplest ways to look after your teeth and gums. Our hygiene appointments complement your care at home with a professional clean and a close look at your gum health.
Your hygienist removes plaque, tartar and other irritants from your teeth and from the root surfaces just under the gums. Polishing then leaves your teeth feeling smooth.
What a hygiene visit can do
- Remove plaque and tartar for healthier gums
- Help prevent gum disease and bad breath
- Remove surface stains
- Personal advice and recommendations for cleaning between your teeth
- Hygienists are trained to look out for early signs of oral cancer and other concerns
