Nicky Smith, EDH, is our Dental Hygienist. She qualified first as a dental assistant then as a hygienist from Guys Dental Hospital in 1995. Nicky has a special interest in patients with a history of periodontal (gum) disease and through her work at Pentangle Dental Transformations she has become very experienced at dealing with the special problems of maintaining gum health around dental implants.
All evidence shows that the long term health of teeth and dental implants depends upon a high standard of daily tooth cleaning. Without regular professional monitoring and motivation the standard of daily tooth cleaning inevitably decreases. The majority of patients with a tendency for gum problems, and those with many dental implants, will require Dental Hygienist visits every three months. Different dental situations require different types of tooth cleaning aids. Each patient will receive a prescription for their individual requirements.
