What is dental hygiene in Ormskirk?
Dental hygiene is a form of preventive dentistry that we offer at our dental practice to stop the development of oral diseases and infections. Dental hygiene treatments are delivered by a dental hygienist and aim to remove any build-up of plaque or tartar on the surface of the teeth.
What to expect
Our dental hygienists will give your teeth an overall assessment, using special tools and pastes to ensure the surfaces of the teeth are clean, and therefore healthy. Aside from dental treatments, our hygienists also provide our patients with dental hygiene advice, ensuring they brush, and floss correctly. With the removal of plaque, polishing and dental advice, our hygiene treatments don’t just stop there.
Catering for your needs
At our dental clinic within Ormskirk we treat every patient as an individual dental case, which is why we are an advocate for tailor made dental plans. Many of our patients who have dental implants, bridges, or even dentures may be unsure of how to take care of their teeth, this is where we can help. Patients who visit our clinic for their dental hygiene in Ormskirk will receive a personalised treatment plan, ensuring you use the right brushes, such as interdental brushes, and floss correctly.
Not just a scale and polish
A scale and polish is an extremely common treatment in the field of dental hygiene, and involves the removal of plaque build-up on the surface of the teeth which is caused by oral bacteria. Despite the importance of a scale and polish, we understand that there is far more to dental hygiene, which is why we offer a wide array of dental treatments.
Why choose our dental clinic to maintain your dental hygiene in Ormskirk?
Choosing a dental clinic for yourself can be tricky, especially for patients with younger children, however we believe we can cater for your dental needs! Our clinic is based within the heart of Parbold Village, meaning we are conveniently placed for patients within the local area. Aside from our location, we strive to deliver a caring, and professional dental approach, all within a clean and modern dental environment. Our practice embraces variety, which is why we not only offer general dentistry, but also restorative, preventive, and even cosmetic dental treatments.
How often should I visit your clinic for a dental hygiene appointment?
As a general rule, we suggest patients visit our clinic every six months, however it is always hard to say, as each individual dental case varies greatly. Patients who are more prone to the build-up of plaque, possibly those patients who do not brush correctly and consume food and drink high in sugar, may require more frequent visits to our clinic.

At our clinic in Ormskirk we welcome patients with every dental need and in all financial situations. We believe in promoting diversity, which is why we not only offer private dental care, but we also deliver treatments under the National Health Service.
