Hygiene Appointments
Looking after your oral hygiene
Dental Hygienist Leicester
At Glenfield Dental we place a great amount of emphasis on the prevention of gum disease. Gum disease can have an impact on your total body health as well as your oral health, and has been linked to a number of serious illnesses such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Therefore it is more important than ever to treat gum disease in its earliest stages.
Preventative dentistry is the foundation of sustainable oral health care and we believe that diagnosis, treatment and maintenance of all dental diseases are all of paramount importance.
Our hygienists take care of all aspects of preventative treatment and play a vital role as part of Glenfield Dental’s experienced team. Work carried out by the hygienists may reduce future restorative treatment with the dentist meaning that costs may be reduced.

Treatment for bad breath
Bad breath, clinically known as halitosis, is a problem for many people. 1 in 4 adults suffer from halitosis and it can really damage our self-esteem as well as our professional and social lives. Here at Glenfield Dental our hygienists know how to identify and treat the cause of bad breath, as well as offering advice on how to keep it at bay.
Some ways to reduce halitosis include:
- Maintaining a good standard of oral hygiene ideally using an electric toothbrush and effective interdental cleaning
- Visiting a skilled hygienist for regular treatment
- Reduce snacking in between main meals and avoid foods and drink such as alcohol, sugary foods and foods with a strong odour
- Regular daily tongue cleaning
- Chewing sugar-free gum is helpful
