Good oral hygiene is very important. Healthy gums are light pink, do not bleed and fit tightly around the teeth. Inflamed gums are caused by accumulated dental plaque and bleed when touched or brushed.
The dental hygienist removes this layer and guides you so that the inflamed gums can be remedied. To prevent gum inflammation from recurring, it is important that you brush properly and use a toothpick, for example. Prevent receding gums in older people and visit our dental hygienist.
Infected jawbone
Jawbone inflammation is an inflammation in the foundation of your teeth. This can be caused by bacteria, oral hygiene, smoking, stress, hereditary factors or your overall health. The inflammation causes jawbone loss, which leads to gum recession and tooth loss.
Although the treatments are primarily focused on prevention, the dental hygienist also performs tasks aimed at healing. The exact nature of these tasks depends on your teeth. Some examples are performing oral examinations, taking X-rays and dental impressions, providing information, performing complete dental cleaning, applying fluoride, fillings, polishing teeth and applying varnish to teeth.
Although your dentist will often refer you to a dental hygienist, you can also visit a dental hygienist yourself if you suffer from inflamed gums, tartar, sensitivity to cavities, receding gums or loose teeth. Children up to the age of 18 can visit a dental hygienist free of charge and without a referral.
