Hygiene
Beautiful, clean teeth play a significant role in our self-confidence and how others perceive us. Despite our efforts to maintain oral hygiene through brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash regularly, some stubborn plaque deposits may remain, affecting the brilliance of our smile. At Eltham Dental, direct access to dental hygiene appointments provides a fresh perspective on dental care. You can now schedule appointments directly with a dental hygienist without the need to see a dentist first, making professional dental hygiene care easily accessible to everyone.
Why Do I Need Dental Hygiene Treatment
A buildup of plaque and tartar is the primary cause of gum disease. Consistent flossing between the teeth and brushing twice a day help to remove these deposits.
Regular visits to the dentist, along with professional dental hygiene treatment, are essential for maintaining the health of your mouth, teeth, and gums. While bad breath originates in the mouth 80% of the time, it can also be a symptom of an underlying disease that requires prompt treatment.
Persistent bad breath is often caused by the smelly gases produced by bacteria coating the teeth and gums. Additionally, certain illnesses such as diabetes, liver or kidney problems, nasal or stomach conditions, and dry mouth (xerostomia), which affects saliva flow, can contribute to bad breath.
