You can brush perfectly and still miss it. 🪥
Plaque hardens in the places a toothbrush was never going to reach. That's not a reflection on your technique, it's just how mouths are shaped. Removing it is a job for a trained dental hygienist.
Here's what actually happens at a hygiene appointment:
1. Your teeth and gums are assessed, so we know how much plaque removal is needed and where your risk factors are 2. A professional clean with specialist equipment and pastes, scaling and polishing 3. Practical coaching on brushing technique, flossing and interdental brushes, so you can keep on top of it at home
It's preventive work, helping to treat gum disease and bad breath, reducing the risk of decay and fillings, and minimising the risk of tooth loss. You'll also leave with properly fresh breath.
Regular visits are what keep it working. Due one?
