Hygienists work with dentists and their main role is to professionally clean your teeth, a process called scaling and polishing.
They will carefully remove hard deposits of calculus (tartar) that build up on your teeth, using manual or ultrasonic instruments.
If there is a lot of tartar, two or three visits may be necessary.
Hygienists also give advice on diet, oral hygiene and will recommend suitable products to maintain good oral health.
Children will also benefit from educational sessions with the Oral Health Educator who can teach them about the effects of sweets and fizzy drinks and also teach a routine for proper mouth care at home.

A bridge fixes a replacement tooth (or teeth) to natural teeth on either side of the gap.
Some bridges have crowns at each end, others are fixed to the surface of the teeth next to the gap.
Bridges can be made from a variety of different materials.
High-end porcelain bridges are individually hand-crafted by skilled dental technicians and designed to emulate your natural teeth as closely as possible so no one can tell you are missing a tooth.
Bridges are used to replace missing teeth.
Appearance is one consideration, however, there are health reasons too.
