Miss 8 upon hearing she was seeing the Dental ‘Hy-genius’ for her dental checkup that day asked if the Dentists were ‘genius’s’ too? The response from our hygienists was - No, just us!

We all lead busy lives so our oral care can become a ‘habit’ we attend to while our brain plans our day. This can lead to causing damage to teeth, gums and bone by brushing too hard or leaving debris behind on your teeth and below the gums, that has the potential to cause disease.

As hygienists our role is to assist you to maintain your oral health at optimal levels, reducing the risk of disease that can lead to permanent damage to teeth, gums and bone. We do this by introducing you to oral hygiene techniques, performing a detailed clean, taking X-rays, liaising with the dentists and informing you of any changes.

Regular checks for children are so important as they grow so rapidly while their mouths change from baby to adulthood. We assist the children with oral hygiene techniques, cleaning and assessing their teeth/jaw relationship. This allows us to refer to any specialist your child may require. This may include the Orthodontist, ENT or Myofunctional Therapist. We tailor our gentle and caring approach to match the need of each individual child.

Our aim is to promote optimal oral health and as such we aren’t here to judge how long since you’ve visited the dentist or if your teeth are chipped or stained, we would just welcome the opportunity to help you maintain your oral health and gain confidence in your smile.
