Keeping Your Mouth, Gums, Teeth Clean and Healthy!

Keeping your teeth clean on your own can only work to a certain extent. There may be times when the issues you face cannot be tackled by better brushing or more regular flossing. Practicing dental hygiene at home is of utter importance in ensuring that your teeth do not suffer from complications such as cavities or tooth decay. To avoid such situations, it is important to go for regular checkups to a dental hygienist who will clean your teeth professionally.

Daily brushing and flossing can definitely help you keep your teeth healthy. However, in order to prevent dental disease and issues from occurring, a dental hygiene checkup is required. If you visit your dentist regularly, issues can be noticed and diagnosed early on, which reduces overall treatment costs and any pain that could of occurred as dental problems progress.

Why Do I Need to Have Hygiene Checkups?

Daily hygiene routines are efficient in keeping away detrimental effects to your teeth. Daily brushing will help remove some of the plaque that forms on your teeth from leftover food particles, which sit on your teeth (particularly from foods high in starch and sugar).

However plaque can build up and as this happens, it gets harder and harder to remove. A tough substance called tartar or calculus (calcified plaque) will form on your teeth eventually and this cannot be removed through conventional brushing. A visit to the dental hygienist is required to have the plaque removed using dental procedures such as scaling and polishing with professional dental tools.

Here’s our hygienist Tayba with her five top tips for staying fresh and healthy long-term.

Tips from Our Team

We asked our team to get together and decide on their five most important tips for maintaining great oral health. Here’s what they said…

Recommended Daily Oral Hygiene

Practicing a regular oral hygiene routine is vital in keeping your mouth and teeth healthy. This is what is recommend on a daily basis.

Brush at least twice a day for at least two minutes each time. Do not brush too hard or too fast. A regular paced brushing routine used on all teeth is ideal
Regular flossing at least once a day is required to remove any food particles stuck in between the teeth. Flossing too hard can cause gums to bleed (gums bleeding can also be a sign of gum disease)

I have attended Ascent Dental a number of times to see the Hygienist and the Dentist. All of the staff are friendly and will go out of their way to accommodate you. The treatment and the service I have received has been second to none and I would highly recommend them.

How Does Airflow Polishing Work?

Airflow’s nozzle with shoot out a high pressured and concentrated blast of water, air, and bicarbonate (usually a lemon flavour) at the surfaces of your teeth. Airflow is very effective at cleaning teeth and will also clean the hard to reach places (nooks and cranny’s), leaving you feeling very fresh.

The combination of the air, water, and bicarbonate has been proven to be effective at tackling tough stains and plaque, and you will be able to leave with much cleaner teeth than a normal hygiene visit.

Who Are Dental Hygienists?

Dental hygienists are professionals who are trained in the art of dental hygiene. At your dental visit, dental hygienists will clean your teeth and remove any plaque deposits using the appropriate instruments. The hygienist will also show you how to care for your teeth properly with brushing and flossing. If additional care is required, the hygienist will recommend certain tools you can purchase to use in your daily dental hygiene routine.

Dental hygienists help educate patients regarding how to care for and prevent cavities, how to control bad breath and how to avoid oral hygiene issues such as gum disease.

Are There Any Dangers Using Airflow?

No, Airflow is a non-chemical hygiene treatment:

The bicarbonate is a non toxic mixture and if the patient does accidentally ingest it, there will be no harm caused.
Airflow is a completely non invasive treatment and will cause no pain to the patient.

Started going to ascent dental care last March 2021 with the fear of having any dental work, I have always been so self conscious of my teeth from young but just lost confidence in any dentist that saw me.
Safe to say I met Jas who has filled me with confidence and put me at ease, knowing what I wanted to achieve set me up with the perfect plan, I quit smoking to achieve healthier teeth with the advice from jas and I am now towards the end of the treatment, and am so pleased with the end results!! the staff are so welcoming and the professionalism and work within is by far worth any price on the treatment you receive!
Thanks team! Amazing work!!

Very professional dental service, I’ve needed a lot of treatment over the past 6 or 7 months but have to say all the staff are extremely pleasant and welcoming, jas is a top dentist always explaining my options and always extremely professional in his work. Highly recommended

Scott Araya

Put off visiting a dentist for some years and need a host of work undertaking. Laura and her assistant Georgie were great. Very professional and compassionate about relieving my anxiety about visiting a dentist. A friendly vibe throughout all the staff creates a relaxed atmosphere I’d reccomend to anyone.

Preith Kaur

Excellent customer service, the team really looked after me, answered all my questions, explained what was going on in my appointment. I made some enquiries for teeth alignment and they were fab, gave me all the information I needed. Highly recommend Ascent to anyone, particularly, if like me, you get nervous about a visit to the dentist!!

Hazel Williams

Brilliant , professional, competent & thoroughly deserved of a Top rate review. I have had a denture implant which is so comfortable & looks just stunning. The care and precision taken by Dr Faresh Desai, his wonderful team & technicians has been outstanding. Now I am having crowns & a partial denture so am qualified to leave a 5 Star plus review. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Kirsty Lamberton

I first had dental treatment (implant & veneer) with Faresh in May 2013. It was a years worth of treatment and the end result was so natural looking. As my bottom teeth weren’t the straightest, I decided to have a brace fitted with Gursh. After just over 17 weeks, I had my brace removed yesterday (25/8/14) and for me, it was a Hollywood reveal. My TEETH ARE AMAZING!!!

Linda Wadley

As someone who has a dreadful fear of the dentist chair, I would like to thank both Laura for sorting out my emergency tooth problem and Jaz for his kindness and for his approach to my fears. Thank you all for your professionalism and most of all your kindness to someone who has a huge fear of dentists

Maxine K

Excellent service from the team at Ascent Dental Care. My daughter has come to the end of her treatment and her braces removed just over a week ago, the results and care she received has been outstanding. Many thanks especially to Cassandra.

I have just finished my treatment with Ascent Dental after 6 months of having Lingual braces to adjust crowding in my upper teeth. I have been very impressed with the service given to me, and would thoroughly recommend the practice to anyone looking to improve their smile. Dr Gursh Bajwa made the treatment comfortable, yet effective, and I am very happy with the results. I would like to thank all the staff at Ascent Dental for the high level of care and service they have given me.

This has been a very positive experience. I didn’t have an appreciation of what can be done with orthodontics these days so the result has been very impressive . I was very careful in choosing who to go to and I am very happy my research paid off. Gursh is very highly skilled, friendly and explains things clearly , as are the rest of the team there. Highly recommended.
