Preventative
Keep Your Smile Looking and Feeling Healthy with Preventive Dentistry and Hygienist Appointments in Manchester.
We are passionate about preventive dentistry and helping you achieve the highest level of oral health. Maintaining a well-balanced diet and reducing the consumption of sugary foods and carbonated beverages benefits not only your overall health but also your teeth. To ensure optimal oral health, it’s essential to brush your teeth thoroughly twice a day, cleaning the inner, outer, and biting surfaces. After brushing, avoid rinsing to preserve the beneficial fluoride that protects your teeth.
Preventive dentistry is the modern approach to maintaining a healthy mouth, reducing the need for extensive dental treatments. The primary causes of tooth loss are decay and gum disease, but with proper preventive measures, you can keep your teeth for life. Our dental team works closely with you to prevent and manage these issues, offering a tailored maintenance plan to keep your mouth in excellent condition.
Regular hygienist appointments are a key part of preventive dentistry. A dental hygiene appointment not only provides a deep clean for that fresh, confident feeling but also plays a crucial role in managing your oral health. Our skilled dental hygienists at 406 Dental can remove the build-up of hardened plaque (tartar) that harbours bacteria, leading to tooth decay and gum disease.
Gum disease, if left untreated, can impact your overall health, potentially leading to complications such as stroke, diabetes, and heart disease. Our hygienists are experts in gum health, and they can help prevent these issues by removing plaque and providing personalised advice on maintaining healthy gums at home.
Even if you maintain good oral health, a hygiene appointment is beneficial for removing stains from drinks like tea and coffee, giving you a brighter, more confident smile. Regular visits to our friendly hygienists ensure that your gums remain healthy and your teeth stay strong.

FAQs
Contrary to what many patients may believe, appointments with our dental hygienists at 406 go far beyond a simple clean and polish. Our team of experienced dental hygienists offer a comprehensive range of services. Not only do they provide a more thorough teeth cleaning than what’s achievable at home, but they also collaborate with you to proactively prevent gum issues arising in the first place. Regular hygiene appointments are essential for preventing, identifying, and, when needed, treating gum disease.
Gum disease is a common oral health concern, which fortunately, if found and treated early enough, is preventable. Symptoms that may indicate gum disease include inflamed or receding gums, bleeding when brushing and increased sensitivity. If you experience discomfort while brushing your teeth, it could also be a sign that you need dental hygiene treatment.
Beyond relieving any discomfort, treating gum disease is vital because leaving it untreated can lead to more serious issues. Gum disease affects the supporting structures of the teeth, potentially leading to infections and loose teeth. In fact, it’s the primary cause of tooth loss, something we aim to prevent as much as possible.
If you are concerned that you may be suffering from gum disease, we encourage you to contact our dental hygienists to book an appointment.
Preventing gum disease is best achieved through effective oral health care, including regular visits – typically twice a year – to a dental hygienist.
Your dental hygiene appointment involves a thorough examination of the gums and supporting tooth structures. Our dental hygienists will help create and tailor an ongoing treatment plan for both at-home care and treatment here with us at the practice.
