Hygienists
Dental hygiene is a very important part of maintaining a healthy smile and is at the forefront of preventative dentistry. We have invested in a team of 4 dental therapists and hygienists here at Mossley Dental Care.
Our Hygienists Carol and Georgina are specifically trained in the prevention of gum disease and dental cavities. They are keen to educate patients young and old with the best use of toothbrushes, electronic aids, dental floss and inter-dental brushes.
Our hygienists will carefully examine and chart your teeth and gums noting in particular: inflammation, bleeding, swelling, and the presence of plaque and calculus. They will remove plaque and surface stains by gentle scraping, polishing and high-tech prophyflex power sprays.
In addition to the services offered by our hygienists, our more qualified dental therapists, Lee and Becky can also take x-rays, conduct routine fillings and deciduous (baby) tooth extractions for our younger patients.
We recommend all our patients visit one of our Hygiene team every 3 or 6 months to help maintain a healthy mouth.
