Dental hygienists and dental therapists can carry out their full scope of practice without prescription and without the patient having to see a dentist first.
Patients who are not registered with our practice and who either have another dentist or have no dentist at all can call and make an appointment direct with our Hygienist to have their teeth cleaned.
All patients have a Basic Periodontal Examination when they visit the dentist or Hygienist/Therapist.
The probe is “walked around” measuring the depth of the gingival crevices/periodontal pockets (the gap between the tooth and the gums, “below the gumline”)
We record this in numbers ranging from 0 to 4.
For patients with codes 0, 1 or 2, the BPE should be recorded at every routine examination
For patients with BPE codes of 3 or 4, more detailed periodontal charting is required.
We call this a 6PPC (6-point pocket chart)
The probe is again “walked around” each tooth. We then measure and record 6 points around each tooth, this gives us a much clearer picture of the pockets (the gap between the tooth and the gums, “below the gumline”) that are deeper and may need further treatment to stabilise this condition.
A 6PPC is carried out yearly so we can compare areas within the mouth that are improving or may need further attention.
Facial rejuvenation treatments are used to help soften expression lines and define facial contours by the careful use of wrinkle relaxation injections and/or injectable fillers. Facial aesthetic treatments enhance your natural beauty and rejuvenate your skin, giving you a more youthful and radiant look for a more confident you.
All of our treatments are carried out in a safe, clinical and relaxed environment by a registered prescriber who has undergone extensive training to qualify in prescribing the right treatments and products for you. Our experts will tailor treatment to your individual needs to ensure best results.
Root planing is the meticulous cleaning of root surfaces to remove dental plaque and calculus from inside a periodontal pocket in order to get rid of the bacteria that cause gum disease.
If your dental hygienist cleans your teeth every six months or so, you know that a routine professional cleaning involves scaling teeth and the gumline to remove plaque and tartar, and polishing to remove stains and smooth the tooth’s surface. This is done to keep your teeth and gums healthy. If you have symptoms of gum disease, however, you may need another type of cleaning, called scaling and root planing.
When you have more advanced signs of gum disease (bad breath, heavy tartar buildup and unhealthy pocket depths of 4mm or more), your dentist may recommend scaling and root planing as the first procedure necessary to treat the condition.
Scaling and root planing teeth, provided by either your dentist or dental hygienist/therapist, may take more than one appointment to complete, and a local anesthetic is often used to minimize any discomfort. The procedure involves thoroughly scaling all plaque, bacterial toxins and tartar deposits from your teeth and root surfaces; and then root planing, which smoothes all rough areas on your roots’ surfaces. Smooth root surfaces keep bacteria, plaque and tartar from re-adhering underneath the gumline, allowing your gums to heal and reattach themselves more.
Gum disease is a very common condition where the gums become swollen, sore or infected.
Most adults in the UK have gum disease to some degree and most people experience it at least once. It’s much less common in children.
If you have gum disease, your gums may bleed when you brush your teeth and you may have bad breath. This early stage of gum disease is known as gingivitis.
Gum disease is caused by a build-up of plaque on the teeth. Plaque is a sticky substance that contains bacteria.
Some bacteria in plaque are harmless, but some are harmful for the health of your gums. If you don’t remove plaque from your teeth by brushing them, it builds up and irritates your gums. This can lead to redness with bleeding, swelling and soreness.
When gingivitis is not treated, it can advance to “periodontitis” (which means “inflammation around the tooth”). In periodontitis, gums pull away from the teeth and form spaces (called “pockets”) that become infected.
The body’s immune system fights the bacteria as the plaque spreads and grows below the gum line. Bacterial toxins and the body’s natural response to infection start to break down the bone and connective tissue that hold teeth in place. If not treated, the bones, gums, and tissue that support the teeth are destroyed. The teeth may eventually become loose and have to be removed.
