Dental Hygiene & Gum Care

Supporting you keeping your mouth healthy

Dental Hygiene

Good dental hygiene is vital to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. At Dental FX in Glasgow we recommend that all of our patients attend regular appointments with a dental hygienist.

We have the latest equipment, including an Airflow machine to remove plaque and stains, using the most up-to-date techniques to help keep your mouth in tip-top condition.

Hygienists also play a vital role in stabilising gum disease helping you keep healthy teeth and gums.

Our Hygienists Will

Assess

Your teeth and gums will be assessed to determine the amount of plaque removal you will need and risk factors will be highlighted.

Clean

Your teeth will be professionally cleaned with special equipment and pastes. This process is also known as scaling and polishing. Airflow can be used to remove any especially tough stains.

Educate

The hygienist’s role is to show you how to look after your teeth so that they remain free from plaque in the future. You will be advised on the best tooth brushing technique and given tips on flossing and using interdental brushes.

What Our Patients Think

A Grant

Being able to smile without the embarrassment of missing teeth has made such a difference. I have had a total of five implants and experienced very little discomfort throughout the whole treatment and would do it again for the benefits it has brought.
Dr Jason Ditton

Absolutely no discomfort of any sort during or after the procedure; highest standards of meticulous professional surgery and care.
Margaret Gemmell

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your expertise and professionalism throughout my intricate dental treatment. My new teeth look fantastic, I can chew much better and they are much more comfortable than my own teeth were!
Derek Reffin

The surgery and waiting area are state of the art. From reception to clinical staff the greeting is both warm and professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending this patient-focused dynamic practice.

Murray Horne

I have always found staff pleasant, professional and efficient. While it is never pleasant to visit a dentist, this practice makes it as nice as possible.
M P

I had an implant retained bridge fitted at Dental fx a number of years ago. To get rid of a denture after years of discomfort was absolutely fantastic. I would recommend this to anyone.
Amanda Kerr

The whole process took just slightly over 2 months, which included the extraction of my tooth and implant being placed immediately after extraction along with a temporary crown. I am now delighted to have my smile back.
David Calderwood

I am delighted with my implants and can confirm that the process was an entirely positive experience. I would be happy to recommend Dental FX to others.

I was an anxious patient but from my very first appointment at Dental fx I knew I was in safe hands. The quality of care and the standard of treatment have been faultless.

I had an implant at dentalfx, carried out by Dr Jacobs, after living with a denture for a year I could finally enjoy socialising again! Thank you.
Jennifer Donald

Just to say thank you for all the kindness I received while undergoing dental treatment. Still can’t believe how little discomfort there was. Your patience was much appreciated.
Linda Hynds

I have found my experience to be relaxed and my teeth are much whiter and healthier since attending this dentist. I am normally very anxious but have found it much easier to attend my dentist surgery due to the gentle approach to treating my teeth.
Aileen Welsh

Thank you all for making the process as pleasant as it could be and thank you too for the wonderful end result. I would have no hesitation recommending you and your team to anyone considering dental implants. Thank you all once again.

FAQs

How often should I see the hygienist?

We recommend seeing the hygienist twice a year for most patients, with those with gum disease attending every 3 months.

I have bad gum disease, can you help?

For patients with advanced gum disease (periodontitis) we offer the services of a skilled periodontist for advanced care.

How does Airflow work?

Our Airflow machine uses compressed air, fine powder particles and water to remove plaque build-up (which can cause discolouration) and even the most stubborn stains from the teeth. Many patients find this more comfortable than a traditional scale and polish.
