What do dental hygienists at Trinity Dental in Rothwell do?
Our dental hygienists in Rothwell spend a lot of their time preventing the build up of plaque on your teeth which can cause tooth decay and gum disease. At Trinity Dental we offer a range of dental hygiene services:
Regular dental hygiene clean
Our regular dental hygiene clean is offered to patients every 6 months to ensure their optimum oral health.
During this regular clean, your dental hygienist scale and polish your teeth. This involves gently scraping at teeth to remove plaque. If plaque is not removed from your teeth, it will harden and become tartar which is much more difficult to get rid of and can become more serious if it is left untreated near the gum line. Once the plaque or tartar is removed, your dental hygienist then polishes your teeth.
This painless procedure doesn’t take long, and you’ll notice an immediate difference – your teeth will look noticeably brighter and cleaner, and you’ll be able to feel the difference too.

Bad breath
Bad breath or halitosis is caused by the build-up of bacteria in your mouth. If you are suffering with halitosis, your dental hygienist can treat it by giving your mouth a thorough and deep clean to remove the bacteria around your teeth, and gums.
Treating gum disease
Gum disease is often difficult to spot. The first stage of gum disease is known as gingivitis and you may develop bleeding, sore or inflamed gums. If this happens, your dental hygienist can help treat it.
If gingivitis is left untreated, it can lead to the more serious form of gum disease called periodontitis. Your dental hygienist will treat gingivitis, often with antibiotics and a thorough deep clean of your mouth. If periodontitis is left untreated, your teeth are at risk of becoming loose and falling out.
