Dental Hygienists
at Dentalcare West SwindonMaintain oral health in West Swindon
Our dental hygienists focus on preventative dental care to ensure that your teeth will remain healthy for life. We work with you to try and keep your teeth free from plaque. This sticky coating on your teeth can lead to tooth decay and can cause gum disease which is the prime reason for tooth loss.
By working with you to maximise your oral health, we hope to help prevent costly treatment and dental health problems from occurring in the future.
Treatments that our hygienists will perform include:
- Professionally cleaning your teeth with a scale and polish to remove plaque and calculus. This not only makes your teeth look better, but it will help to prevent further decay from occurring
- Help to show you how to keep your mouth, teeth and gums healthy and clean in order to minimise the build-up of plaque.
- Identifying and treating the first stages of gum disease known as gingivitis, and taking preventative steps to stop this progressing on to the more serious form of gum disease – periodontitis
- Providing general information about diet, lifestyle and hygiene that can impact your teeth and general health. Research has shown that smokers are more likely to get gum disease and lose more teeth than non-smokers and so your hygienist will give tips on how to best give up smoking

Airflow Polish in Swindon
Airflow is the new form of dental polish for teeth. It gives you a deeper clean than the usual scale and polish and has a cosmetic feel resulting in whiter teeth.
Airflow combines air, sodium bicarbonate and water to penetrate even the most stubborn dental stains caused by smoking or dark coloured drinks such as coffee, red wine and tea.
The results are instant, you will feel and see the difference as soon as the Airflow polish has finished.
Whilst Airflow is tough on breaking down strong stains, it is very gentle, as there is no direct contact with your teeth. For this reason, many patients who have sensitive teeth find that Airflow is a good option for them.
Airflow is also worth considering if you want to have whiter teeth but don’t want to commit to teeth whitening treatments. It’s also a good way to whiten and brighten teeth if you have implants, bridges and crowns as Airflow can be used on these restorations.
