Your local Newmarket hygienist’s key aim is to prevent and treat gum disease, which is now one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. By including regular professional teeth cleaning in your oral routine, you can help to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
Regular visits to your hygienist puts you in the best position for detecting any oral health problems before they become symptomatic or require treatment.
Hygienists are trained to thoroughly clean your teeth and gums. Even the best electric toothbrush can’t reach every part of your mouth, and a hygienist can get to those hard-to-reach places to provide a professional deep clean. While you will leave your Terrace Dental Care hygienist appointment with a fresher, cleaner smile, their job goes far beyond the superficial. A scale and polish will remove harmful plaque and deposits of tartar that, if left, can cause periodontal (gum) disease. By making a hygienist visit part of your dental care regime you can stay one step ahead and avoid becoming one of the 19 out of every 20 people who will suffer from gum disease during their life.
An appointment with your local Terrace Dental Care hygienist will involve an initial oral hygiene examination, followed by a ‘scaling’ procedure. This is where any build up of harmful plaque and tartar is carefully and gently removed from the surface of your teeth and around the gum line using scalers and curettes, which are specially designed tools to check scrape away soft deposits. Hand-held mirrors help your hygienist to spot those missed areas and pinpoint plaque build up. Following a good clean and analysis of overall gum health, they will give your teeth a shine and polish with a gentle, quiet air polisher to remove any superficial stains. In cases where there is decay, a hygienist may apply fluoride or an antibacterial gel.
Tooth fissures are tiny pits and grooves that appear on the surface of teeth and are extremely common, especially on the back teeth and molars. It is easy to miss these narrow fissures with normal brushing, meaning that bacteria can build up in the gaps and lead to deterioration of your tooth. Fissure sealants are a quick and comfortable preventative measure that can be applied by your hygienist to prevent tooth decay. Your hygienist will be able to advise you if this is a treatment they recommend for your teeth.
Prevention is better than cure, and identifying early signs of tooth decay or gum inflammation enables your practitioner to address the problem swiftly.
As well as a thorough scale and polish, your dental hygienist will also provide a complete examination of your overall oral health. Your Terrace Dental Care hygienist will get to know you and provide you with tailored, individual advice on how to maintain the best oral health, from diet to dental care.

Seeing a dental hygienist or dental therapist is an important part of maintaining good dental health. Regular hygiene appointments can help prevent gum disease and tooth decay by removing plaque and tartar that can build up over time, even with a good daily brushing routine.
By including professional teeth cleaning as part of your dental care routine, you can help keep your teeth and gums healthy and reduce the risk of future dental problems.
Regular visits to a dental hygienist put you in the best position to identify potential dental health issues early, before they cause symptoms or require more complex treatment.
Dental hygienists and dental therapists are trained to clean areas of your mouth that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush alone. Even the best electric toothbrush can’t remove all plaque and tartar, particularly around the gum line and between teeth. Professional cleaning helps keep these areas healthy and supports long-term dental health.
At your hygiene appointment at Capel Dental Care, your dental hygienist or dental therapist will begin with a visual examination to assess your overall dental health.
They will then carefully remove plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth and around the gum line using specialist tools. Hand-held mirrors are used to ensure all areas of your mouth are thoroughly cleaned.
Your appointment may also include a polish to remove surface staining and leave your teeth feeling clean and smooth. In some cases, fluoride or antibacterial products may be applied if clinically appropriate.
Your hygienist and dental therapist's role goes beyond just cleaning your teeth. They will take time to get to know you and provide personalised advice based on your individual needs and lifestyle. This may include guidance on brushing techniques, cleaning between your teeth, and maintaining good dental hygiene at home.
Regular hygiene appointments, alongside routine dental health check-ups, play a key role in preventing gum disease and maintaining a healthy smile.
