Dental Hygiene.

At Wānaka Dental we pride ourselves on preventive dentistry and our oral health therapists and dental hygienists play an integral part in this. 

What is involved in a dental hygiene cleaning?

Even with an excellent home-care routine, it is easy to miss small areas, allowing calculus to build up on your teeth. Calculus is hardened plaque and contains bacteria that will infect your gums, causing gum disease. Although gum disease is common it is not a condition to be taken lightly and the first symptoms are easily ignored. This condition can lead to tooth loss, and it can also affect your general health. By seeing us regularly, we can help ensure you prevent this condition and if there are any signs of infection, we can provide appropriate treatment to help restore gum health.
