Dental Hygienist Services in North Sydney | Elite Dentistry

Professional Care for Healthy Teeth and Gums

At Elite Dentistry in North Sydney, our experienced dental hygienists are here to help you maintain optimal oral health. With professional teeth cleaning, preventative care, and personalised oral hygiene advice, our dental hygienists play a vital role in keeping your teeth and gums healthy for life.

What Does a Dental Hygienist Do?

A dental hygienist specialises in preventative oral health care. While your dentist focuses on diagnosing and treating dental issues, a hygienist works to prevent these problems from occurring in the first place. From removing plaque and tartar to educating patients on proper oral hygiene techniques, our dental hygienists are an integral part of your dental care routine.

Our dental hygienists offer services such as:

• Professional teeth cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and stains.
• Gum disease prevention and treatment, including scaling and root planing.
• Oral health education, helping you improve your brushing, flossing, and overall oral hygiene habits.
• Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities.

Latest Equipment: The EMS Airflow System

At Elite Dentistry, we are proud to use the advanced EMS Airflow system, a state-of-the-art tool that makes professional teeth cleaning more effective and comfortable than traditional methods.

What is the EMS Airflow System?

The EMS Airflow system is an innovative technology that uses a combination of air, warm water, and fine powder particles to gently remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth. It is particularly effective at cleaning hard-to-reach areas and along the gumline, leaving your teeth feeling smooth and fresh.

Benefits of the EMS Airflow System:

• Pain-Free Cleaning: A gentle, non-invasive method that is ideal for patients with sensitive teeth or gums.
• Highly Efficient: Removes biofilm (plaque), stains, and tartar faster and more effectively than traditional scaling tools.
• Comfortable and Warm: The warm water stream ensures a comfortable experience during cleaning.
• Gum-Friendly: Perfect for cleaning periodontal pockets and preventing gum disease.
• Safe for All Patients: Suitable for children, adults, and even those with dental implants or orthodontic braces.

With the EMS Airflow system, our dental hygienists can deliver a superior clean that is not only thorough but also enhances your overall experience at the dentist.

Why See a Dental Hygienist?

Regular visits to a dental hygienist are essential for maintaining good oral health. Even with excellent at-home care, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas, leading to gum disease, cavities, and other issues. Seeing a dental hygienist helps you:

Prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath.

Protect your teeth and gums from long-term damage.

Detect oral health issues early before they become serious.

Keep your smile bright and healthy with professional cleaning.

Our Dental Hygiene Services

1. Professional Teeth Cleaning

A thorough cleaning is more than just polishing your teeth. Our hygienists remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing can’t reach, leaving your teeth and gums clean and healthy. Professional cleaning also reduces the risk of gum disease and improves the appearance of your smile.

2. Gum Disease Prevention and Treatment

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Our hygienists provide deep cleaning services, such as scaling and root planing, to treat gum disease and restore your gum health. Regular visits to the hygienist can prevent conditions like gingivitis and periodontitis.

3. Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is essential for strengthening tooth enamel and preventing decay. We offer professional fluoride treatments to protect your teeth and keep your smile strong.

4. Oral Hygiene Education

Our hygienists take the time to teach you how to care for your teeth and gums at home. Learn the correct brushing and flossing techniques, and get personalised advice on maintaining excellent oral hygiene between visits.

5. Children’s Dental Hygiene Services

Teaching children good oral hygiene habits early is crucial for their long-term dental health. Our hygienists provide gentle and friendly care for kids, ensuring they feel comfortable during their visits while learning the importance of taking care of their teeth.

Signs You Need to See a Dental Hygienist

You should see a dental hygienist regularly, even if you don’t notice any problems with your teeth or gums. However, there are some signs that indicate it’s time to book a visit:

• Persistent bad breath (halitosis).
• Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing.
• Visible plaque or tartar buildup on teeth.
• Teeth that feel sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet foods.
• Red, swollen, or tender gums.
• A dry or sticky feeling in your mouth.

If you experience any of these symptoms, our hygienists at Elite Dentistry are here to help.

Benefits of Regular Visits to a Dental Hygienist

Visiting a dental hygienist every six months can help you:

1. Prevent Gum Disease: Keep your gums healthy and free from infection.
2. Save Money on Future Treatments: Early prevention reduces the risk of expensive dental procedures down the track.
3. Brighten Your Smile: Remove surface stains for a cleaner, more radiant smile.
4. Maintain Fresh Breath: Eliminate the bacteria that cause bad breath.
5. Boost Overall Health: Good oral health contributes to better overall health, reducing risks of heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions.
