Dental Hygiene Services.
At Bingham Dental, we offer a comprehensive range of dental hygiene services aimed at promoting optimal oral health and preventing dental issues.
Think of your gums as the foundations to your teeth, optimal gum health in fundamental to maintaining the healthy smile you dream of. Professional ultrasonic cleaning, often known as a ‘scale and polish’ helps to maintain ideal oral health and prevent progression of any issues. This, in combination with our expert advice, ensures optimal home care, with the aim to keep bad breath, bleeding, and staining at bay, minimising the risk of gum disease.
Stubborn staining can gently and predictably be removed using our airflow stain removal techniques, bringing a glow back to your smile, removing that stubborn Yorkshire Tea staining, or refreshing composite bonding.
Our skilled dental hygiene-therapists are keen on preventing gum disease from becoming established but are also experienced in managing periodontal disease and educating on how to prevent the progression of gum disease. Our dental hygiene-therapists are also exceptionally skilled in providing natural looking tooth-coloured restorations and work alongside the rest of the team to ensure a healthy and aesthetic mouth.
At Bingham Dental, your oral health is our priority. We aim to provide services that not only treat existing conditions but also promote preventative care for long-lasting dental wellness.
What is gum disease?
Periodontal disease, frequently referred to as gum disease, is an inflammatory condition affecting the gums and the bone that support the teeth. This inflammation is caused by bacteria in plaque that build up on the teeth and along the gumline.
The first stage of gum disease is gingivitis, with symptoms of this reversible condition include redness, swelling, and bleeding gums. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, meaning the bone that supports the teeth is now affected by the inflammation. This causes the gums to recede and can even lead to tooth loss. Gum disease has also been linked to other health issues, including heart disease and diabetes, making early detection and management essential.
At Bingham Dental, our hygiene team is dedicated to preventing and managing gum disease, helping you maintain healthy gums and a strong foundation for your smile. Regular professional cleanings, along with a good at-home routine, are key steps to keep gum disease at bay and ensure your long-term oral health.
