By having oral health you’re also safeguarding your overall well-being. And to achieve a mouth free from diseases, infections, and sores, you have to make sure to brush and floss your teeth regularly at home. But that’s not all! Visiting your dentist for regular check-ups and professional cleanings is equally important, since these routine appointments help detect and address any potential issues early on, preventing them from escalating into more serious problems.

With the following treatments and procedures we can provide comprehensive care to patients of all ages and help them maintain optimal oral health.
Dental Cleanings are essential for everyone who wants to maintain or improve their oral health. They’re especially important if you have tartar buildup or are dealing with gum disease. Regular cleanings help remove plaque and tartar, preventing them from causing problems in your mouth.
X-Rays are a valuable tool for diagnosing and treating dental issues early on, since they provide a detailed look at your teeth and jaw. Thus helping the dentist to see the position of your teeth, the condition of your roots, and any signs of gum disease or bone damage, etc.
Dental Sealants are a great option for children and adults at high risk of cavities, especially those with deep grooves in their teeth. They create a protective barrier that prevents food particles and bacteria from getting into these grooves, reducing the risk of decay.
Fluoride Treatments are beneficial for both children and adults. They help strengthen your enamel, making it more resistant to decay, but is particularly effective in the early stages of the disease (when the enamel appears white and porous) since it can help remineralize the enamel and prevent the decay from progressing.

Process
Some of the main responsibilities of dental hygienists are briefly explained below:
Deep teeth cleaning: This involves removing tartar and plaque that lead to gum disease. For this they use a variety of tools, from hand instruments to ultrasonic cleaners, to ensure an in-depth cleaning.
Tooth scaling and root planing: Performed when plaque and tartar build up below the gum line since regular brushing and flossing just won’t get to that area. This deep cleaning procedure targets these hidden areas preventing and treating gum disease.
Oral health examinations: They check for cavities, gum inflammation, and other potential issues, then report their findings to the dentist. Regular check-ups are essential for early detection and prevention of more serious problems.
Review of dental history: They gather information about your overall health, medications, and any previous dental issues. This helps the dentist create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Dental sealants: This protective coating seals off grooves and pits in your teeth, making them less susceptible to decay.
Fluoride treatments: Are another valuable tool in the fight against cavities, since it strengthens your enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks. It can be applied as a varnish or a gel.
Oral hygiene instructions: Dental hygienists provide personalized brushing and flossing instructions to the patients, providing them with the necessary knowledge and skills to keep their teeth and gums healthy between visits.

What is gum disease?
Gum disease causes the gums to become sore, inflamed and irritated. The first symptom is normally bleeding when you brush your teeth. There are different stages of gum disease – the early stage, known as gingivitis, is relatively simple to treat, but if left untreated, it can become a more advanced and painful form of gum disease known as periodontitis.
How do I know if I need to see the hygienist?
Everyone should see the hygienist to ensure they are cleaning their teeth in the right manner. Key warning signs that could indicate you should most certainly visit the hygienist include:
- Red, sore and swollen gums
- Bleeding when brushing
- Receding gums
- Teeth coming loose
- Persistent bad breath
- Pus between the teeth and gums
How often do I need to see the hygienist?
Your hygienist will recommend how often you should be visiting here, routine maintenance is normally every 6 months but you may be required to see the hygienist every 3 months depending on your oral health.
What is Cosmetic Stain Removal?
At Westmount Dental Surgery, we have many patients who come to us as a result of stained teeth caused by red wine, tea, coffee and even smoking!
Cosmetic stain removal is the perfect treatment option for removing these stains. Using ‘AirFlowTM’ technology, stains are removed by the projection of tiny carbonated particles and water pressure onto the surface of and in between each tooth.
Although cosmetic stain removal is not a whitening treatment, patients often comment on how much cleaner and whiter teeth appear after treatment.
Our Patient Care Co-ordinators are available to chat with you about any aspect of cosmetic stain removal, just call us today!
