Dental hygiene focuses on keeping the mouth area clean for health purposes and includes the importance of keeping the teeth and gums healthy. This is a significant factor as it helps prevent periodontal disease. Dental hygiene is a crucial and essential part of an individual's life. At the dentist Richmond, we have qualified hygienists to help with oral hygiene issues. At Sheen Dental we specialise in dental issues such as gingivitis and the prevention of developing periodontal disease. If periodontal disease is developed it can cause many underlying health issues such as bad breath, tooth loss and tooth staining. Periodontal disease is a major problem and can have significant long term issues. However, in many cases, periodontal disease is a painless dental issue and therefore it can go unnoticed. In this time, a lot of damage can be done to the surrounding and affected teeth. If you are interested in getting into contact with our hygienist, feel free to book an appointment with the dentist Richmond.
