Dental Hygiene Sevenoaks
Keep your teeth and gums healthy for life with a strong oral hygiene routine.
What is a Dental Hygienist in Sevenoaks?
Dental hygiene refers to keeping your teeth, gums and mouth healthy. Your oral health is important because it is closely linked to your general health.
A dental hygienist works closely with your dentist to maintain and enhance your oral health. Whilst your dentist will focus on all aspects of dentistry, a dental hygienist focuses specifically on keeping your mouth and gums clean. In doing so, a dental hygienist can help prevent, as well as treat, problems like gum disease, tooth decay and cavities.
At Smileology in Sevenoaks, our dental hygienists see hundreds of patients from Wandworth, Edenbridge, Westerham, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, and throughout Tunbridge Wells.

FAQs
How often should I floss my teeth?
We recommend that you should floss your teeth once every day. It may seem fiddly and time consuming, but flossing is the only way to prevent plaque from forming in the spaces between your teeth. Your dental hygienist can show you how to floss your teeth.
What causes bad breath?
Bad breath maybe caused by the diet you consume, if you’re not eating healthily, this can often be the reason. Poor oral hygiene may also be the reason for bad breath. Tooth decay and gum disease can be an indication of bad breath. Your dental hygienist will investigate the reason for bad breath, treat the cause and help to prevent it from occurring again.
Is an electric toothbrush better than a manual?
An electric toothbrush is more likely to clean your teeth more effectively because they do more strokes per minute than a manual toothbrush. However, you can still get an effective clean with a manual toothbrush and it’s more important that you use a toothbrush that you’re more comfortable with. As long as you brush your teeth twice a day and for a minimum of two minutes at each brush.
