Treatments performed by our dental hygienist

While a dentist primarily treats existing dental problems, a dental hygienist focuses on preventing them. This is achieved through regular thorough teeth cleaning and providing advice on dental care. Read more about our preventive treatments.

Sealing teeth

Bacteria can accumulate in the grooves of your teeth, causing cavities. This is why it is sometimes necessary to seal the teeth, especially in growing children whose molars have just erupted. A fissure sealant closes the grooves and prevents cavities from forming.

Sensitive teeth

You will mainly notice sensitive teeth when eating or drinking. This may manifest as sharp pains when drinking a cold beverage or a nagging sensation. You may also notice sensitive teeth when brushing your teeth. Our dental hygienist will treat your sensitive teeth and provide advice on how to prevent them from becoming sensitive again.

Bad breath

Poor oral hygiene is the main cause of bad breath. Did you know that the back of the tongue is particularly susceptible to bacteria? This is why it is important to clean your tongue every evening. Our dental hygienist can determine the cause of your bad breath and provide advice on how to combat it.

Removing tartar and plaque

Tartar is a hardened layer of plaque that is difficult to remove. Its rough texture makes it easier for bacteria to adhere to than the smooth surface of your teeth. Because bacteria can adhere to tartar more easily, cavities are more likely to form. A dental hygienist can remove plaque and tartar to help prevent tooth decay.

Treating Gum Inflammation

Swollen, red and painful gums are usually a sign of gum inflammation. The dental hygienist at iSmile will treat your inflamed gums. The treatment will depend on whether the inflammation is in the early stages or more advanced. Make an appointment as soon as possible to prevent permanent damage to your teeth and jawbone.

Fluoride treatment

Toothpaste often contains fluoride, which strengthens your teeth and prevents tooth decay. However, sometimes brushing alone is not enough to maintain your teeth’s quality. In such cases, our dental hygienist may recommend fluoride treatment. This involves wearing a mouthpiece containing fluoride gel for a few minutes to strengthen the enamel layer of your teeth.

Food and oral care advice

Sweet and acidic foods can damage your teeth. Therefore, if you want to prevent cavities, it is wise to take this into account. For example, limit yourself to seven meals a day at most, and try to avoid drinking too many soft and energy drinks. Our dental hygienist will be happy to advise you on food and oral care.

Polishing fillings

Fillings can discolour over time. A dental hygienist can then polish them by applying a new white coating. In other cases, the filling becomes rough, causing plaque to stick to it. Polishing the filling ensures that these bacteria disappear and do not turn into stubborn tartar.

Airflow Treatment

Airflow treatment is a painless way to thoroughly clean your teeth. A mixture of water, air and powder is gently used to remove tartar, plaque and discolouration. The result is teeth that feel clean and fresh and look brighter. This treatment is ideal as an addition to regular dental cleaning by your dentist or hygienist.
