Get the care that you need<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here at Farnham Road Dental Practice<\/strong>, we recognise the stress that Covid-19 may have placed our patients under. As such, we are doing all that we can to make sure they know that we are there for them, and will be able to provide them with the dental and oral care they need, throughout these troubling and uncertain times. For many people, the recent pandemic measures have caused us to pay a closer amount of scrutiny and attention to all aspects of our health and wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One result of this rising amount of focus towards our health has been an increase in the amount of patients who are looking to have their oral health professionally assessed by a dental hygienist. At Farnham Road Dental Practice<\/strong>, we offer a professional cleaning service which is tailored around the needs of nervous patients in Guildford<\/a>, and we understand that for some a visit to the dentist chair can be the cause of high levels of anxiety and stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can a dental hygienist do for me?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For nervous patients in Guildford<\/strong> who may not have visited their dentist for a considerable amount of time, we recommend that they visit our practice to seek the services provided by our dental hygienists. Whilst cosmetic dentistry is centred around how a patient’s teeth look, a dental hygienist operates in a more preventive capacity – by making sure that a patient’s teeth and gums are as healthy as they ought to be. Any nervous patients in Guildford<\/strong> who visit our practice can rest assured that our expertly trained hygienists have seen teeth in all conditions over their lengthy careers, and that nothing will come as a surprise to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our hygienists do all that is within their power to make the patient feel at ease and comfortable throughout their treatment with us, and absolutely never judge a patient who may have refrained from seeking out dental help prior to now. The important thing, we believe, is that patients have made the first – and arguably most important – step on their journey towards a healthier dental future, by taking direct action and contacting one of our dental hygienists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintaining healthy gums<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most crucial parts of the dental care which is provided by our hygienist, here at Farnham Road Dental Practice<\/strong>, is keeping our patient’s gums fit and healthy. Our gums are vital to our oral health, and act as cushions to our teeth by protecting them from harmful bacteria as well as adding support to our jaws. One of the most common signs that your gums may be in a poor state of health is noticing blood when brushing or flossing. This, alongside inflammation in your gums, is known as Gingivitis. When caught early, Gingivitis can be easily treated through medicated mouthwashes and other treatments, however – if it is left to develop further then it can cause a gum infection which is known as Periodontal disease (or, more commonly, gum disease) which is far more serious and accounts for the most losses of teeth in adults across the country, after trauma or injury. However, luckily our expert hygienists here at Farnham Road Dental Practice<\/strong> are well practiced in the identification of early signs of periodontal disease, and can provide treatment to stop it in its tracks before it can do any serious damage to the patient’s oral health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
