Dental hygiene

At Guildford Dental Centre, our hygienists are focused on maintaining the health of your teeth and gums. We will work alongside you, helping you to maintain your oral health, prevent dental decay, bad breath and tooth loss with bespoke oral hygiene advice at each appointment to prevent recurring problems like staining, bad breath, gum disease, plaque build-up and more.

 What is the role of a Dental Hygienist?

 Dental Hygienists are specially trained to work with Dentists in giving dental care to their patients. They play a  very important role and are mainly concerned with ensuring and maintaining impeccable oral health. Dental  Hygienists have both clinical and health promotional responsibilities. Clinically they help to treat and prevent  periodontal (gum) disease by scaling and polishing teeth; they can take dental radiographs and undertake  monitoring and screening procedures. Dental Hygienists are also permitted to apply topical fluorides and fissure  sealants in order to reduce dental caries (tooth decay). Their Health Promotional role includes motivating and encouraging individuals and groups in oral health practices including oral hygiene and diet advice.


Why is this treatment so important?

Regular professional cleaning, combined with motivation and advice on how to improve your dental care routine at home will produce huge dental benefits. Research has shown that good dental health significantly reduces the risk of filling replacement, new cavities, gum recession, food trapping and teeth drifting. Gum disease is also linked to heart disease and there are concerns about poor gum health and pregnancy.

Does what it says on the tin!

The dentist I saw was very understanding and not at all condescending about my fears. She took steps to be professional, objective and fully explain the procedure, potential problems and preferred outcome. Her approach and thoughtfulness has made me much less anxious about future visits for which I am very grateful.

i originally selected the practice due to a high level of anxiety about dental care and Dr Chavvi has been so very kind and patient. She explains everything in detail and always checks in during the procedure to make sure I'm doing ok. I feel very safe and looked after by her, and fully trust her. She has renewed my confidence completely!

I have always been very well looked after by the team. Prof Haers recommended I switch to this practice years ago and Terry McNulty looked after me for some years before retirement. Derek Whittle took over and I have been just as well looked after by him. 100% happy patient.
