Dental Hygiene

At Phillips & Co, we consider the health of your teeth and gums of paramount importance as they are the foundation of your smile and, as such, encourage you to visit our dedicated dental hygienist regularly.

Our Hygienist will work with you to ensure you understand how best to keep it in tip-top condition. mouth stays healthy with a regular professional clean.

A hygiene appointment will include tailored advice and professional guidance to looking after your smile, as well as a professional clean to remove plaque and sticky tartar to eradicate the risk of gum disease, shift stubborn and unwanted stains and freshen your breath.

We care about oral disease prevention and the promotion of healthy lifestyles for all our patients and are committed to delivering care and advice in a welcoming environment.
This is why we firmly believe preventive care should be the cornerstone of the approach to your dental health.

Gingivitis and periodontitis are the two main forms of gum disease and, if left unchecked, gingivitis can cause the gums to separate from the teeth. This can cause injury to the soft tissue and bone supporting the teeth. The tooth may become loose and unstable. If the infection progresses, you may ultimately lose your tooth or need it extracted – this advanced stage of gum disease is known as periodontitis.

For those who need extra care, we will schedule more frequent appointments to address any specific oral health concerns – potentially, if this is required, one of our Dental Membership plans may be of value.
