Dental Hygiene

If you are looking for a highly experienced and expert dental hygienist in Port Erin, our friendly, practice in the Isle of Man can help.

Why visit a dental hygienist?

Regular visits to your hygienist puts you in the best position for detecting any oral health problems before they become symptomatic or require treatment.  Over time, plaque and tartar build up around the base of the tooth along the gum line. Failing to remove the plaque will result in tooth decay and gum disease.

Our highly qualified dental team will be able to assist you with the necessary advice on how to maintain a health smile as well as dietary advice to help minimise tooth decay. As part of your hygiene appointment, we will remove any plaque, check your gums and polish your teeth leaving them shiny and clean.

What can I expect from a dental hygienist appointment?

An appointment with your local Rosien Dental hygienist at Port Erin will involve an initial oral hygiene check-up, followed by a ‘scaling’ procedure. This is where any build-up of harmful plaque and tartar is carefully and gently removed from the surface of your teeth and around the gum line using scalers and curettes, which are specially designed tools to check scrape away soft deposits. Your dentist will be able to spot those missed areas and pinpoint plaque build-up. 

Following a good clean and analysis of overall gum health, they will give your teeth a shine and polish with a gentle, quiet air polisher to remove any superficial stains. In cases where there is decay, we may apply fluoride or an antibacterial gel.

Treating Gum Disease

The classic signs of gum disease are bleeding gums bad breath and tastes, wobbly teeth and shrinking gums. Risk factors which include: smoking, being overweight, diabetes, stress and depression.

Treatment of gum disease can save your teeth as long as it is detected early enough, and of course we check each and every patient that we see. We will work with you to clean off the bacteria. We will also give you tips on how you can manage risk factors such as smoking and health, and teeth cleaning routines protecting the teeth and gums at home.

Our dental clinic accepts both private and NHS patients.
