Hygienist care
Our hygienist treats gum (periodontal) disease and gives you the knowledge and skills to keep your mouth healthy for life.
Brushing only reaches the surfaces your brush can touch. A professional clean removes the plaque and tartar that build up between teeth and under the gum line.
“I had a great experience with the friendly team at Mission Bay Dental. Geoff perfectly repaired my chipped front tooth, followed by a very thorough clean by the dental hygienist, Sara. Great service, thanks team!”

What are the signs of gum disease?
Gums that bleed when you brush, red, swollen or tender gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, loose or shifting teeth, or changes in your bite. Any of these should be checked by a dentist.
How is gum disease treated?
The aim is to control infection and stop the disease progressing. That means regular hygienist visits, good brushing and flossing at home, and non-surgical therapies that control harmful bacteria.
What does a hygienist do?
A hygienist treats gum disease and helps you build the habits to keep a healthy mouth for life.
