Why regular hygiene appointments are the foundation of a healthy smile

Why regular hygiene appointments are the foundation of a healthy smile preview image

When you picture a dental hygiene appointment, you might imagine a quick scale and polish. While that's certainly part of it, here at Stoke Dental, we view your hygiene visit as a profoundly valuable investment in your overall oral health. It is truly more than just a surface clean; it is the cornerstone of lasting dental wellness!

Our experienced dental hygienist, Dr. Rosh Rathi, champions a comprehensive approach, placing the health of your gums at the very heart of your care. Healthy gums are the bedrock of a healthy mouth, and without a strong, disease-free foundation, even the finest dental treatments can be compromised.

More than just a clean

Dr. Rathi's hygiene appointments are designed to go beyond the basics, offering a truly unique approach to your care. She provides in-depth gum assessments to identify early, often silent, signs of gum disease, along with personalised care plans tailored to manage everything from mild gingivitis to more advanced periodontal concerns. You will also receive tailored oral hygiene coaching, including practical brushing and flossing techniques that are effective for your unique mouth. This proactive focus helps reduce the need for more complex and costly dental work in the future, culminating in a gentle, professional cleaning and polish – but only after your foundation is secure. Dr. Rathi collaborates closely with our entire clinical team, ensuring your gums and teeth are healthy, stable, and functioning perfectly.

"The most important part of a healthy smile is often what you can't see—your gums. My goal is to help patients understand that gum health is not optional. It's essential."

— Dr. Rosh Rathi, Dental Hygienist at Stoke Dental
