We will all have problems with our teeth during our lifetimes but brushing, flossing and regular visits to a hygienist to ensure good dental hygiene will keep these to a minimum<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prevention is always better than cure and this is just as true when it comes to your oral health. If you look after your teeth and have good dental hygiene, you are less likely to encounter serious problems with them.<\/p>\n

This is why cleaning them well at home, getting regular check-ups at the dentist and visiting a dental hygienist are crucial for the overall health of your teeth and mouth.<\/p>\n

How often should I see a dental hygienist?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our dentists recommend that you see a hygienist every six months. However, this will depend on other factors, including your overall dental health, how well you take care of your teeth and your predisposition to gum disease.<\/p>\n

What happens during an appointment?<\/strong><\/p>\n

During an appointment with your hygienist, he or she will carry out an examination of your mouth. This will allow them to assess your needs and give you advice on cleaning, diet and looking after them.<\/p>\n

They will then perform a \u2018scale and polish\u2019 treatment. This involves scraping along the gum line to get rid of any tartar or plaque. Often, it is very difficult to remove this with just brushing and flossing, which is why seeing a hygienist is so important.<\/p>\n

After the scaling, your dentist or hygienist will polish and floss your teeth. They will then be able to advise if you need any further treatment or to see a specialist periodontist if there is any indication of gum disease or gingivitis (inflammation of the gums).<\/p>\n

Note that dentists also carry out dental hygiene appointments, while specialist periodontists look after your gums, bone and other tissue in the mouth.<\/p>\n

What happens if I don\u2019t have good oral health?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t look after your teeth and maintain sufficient oral hygiene<\/a>, it can lead to common issues such as cavities and gum disease. More seriously, it has also been linked to diabetes, heart disease and cancer.<\/p>\n

This is why it is so important to keep on top of your daily cleaning habits as well as going to a dentist and\/or hygienist on a regular basis. Not only can they clean your teeth effectively, but they can also spot any emerging issues you may have.<\/p>\n

What is \u2018airflow treatment\u2019?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Airflow therapy<\/a>, or air polishing, which can be done here in Northumberland Dental Care, is a natural way of cleaning teeth using a jet of air, water and sodium bicarbonate. It removes stains more effectively than regular cleaning and polishing.<\/p>\n

Am I eligible for a discount on cleaning as a PRSI payer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under the government\u2019s Treatment Benefit Scheme<\/a>, PRSI payers are entitled to free or discounted dental care. If you qualify, you can get a check-up along with a scale and polish here in Northumberland Dental Care for just \u20ac15.<\/p>\n

If you contact us<\/a> with your PPS number and date of birth, we will check if you are eligible.<\/p>\n

How do I keep my teeth clean at home?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regular brushing and flossing remain the most effective ways to maintain good oral health at home. It is worth developing a daily routine to ensure you don\u2019t forget. Brushing for two minutes twice a day is recommended.<\/p>\n

Should I use an electric toothbrush?<\/strong><\/p>\n

New research that came out in 2019 has backed up what we have known for some time: that, in general, patients who use electric toothbrushes have healthier teeth and gums than those who don\u2019t. There\u2019s a good piece on this written by our clinical lead general dentist Dr Jennifer Collins<\/a> here: Which is better, an Electric or Manual Toothbrush?<\/a><\/p>\n

Is flossing<\/a> important? How often should I floss?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plaque can build up between your teeth and it is very difficult to reach these areas with a toothbrush. If plaque is allowed to take hold, it can cause cavities or gum disease.<\/p>\n

Are \u2018interdental brushes\u2019 (or sticks) as good as flossing is?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is an ongoing debate about which is better. One argument suggests that interdental brushes are good because people find flossing difficult and time-consuming and often choose not to do it but they will use interdental brushes.<\/p>\n

What is important is that both work at getting between the teeth and cleaning the areas that brushes can\u2019t reach. Our advice is to use what works for you and to discuss with your dentist or hygienist how effective it is. They can then advise you on what you need to do.<\/p>\n
