Keeping your teeth in great shape

At John Mewing Orthodontics we have a Dental Hygienist who will work with you throughout your treatment. Dental Hygienists use preventive, educational and therapeutic methods to help prevent oral diseases whilst helping patients to achieve and maintain oral health.

A Dental Hygienist plays a very important role in your dental health. Just a few of the tasks they perform include;

• Educating and counselling children and adults on dental health, plaque control, oral hygiene and nutrition
  
  
• Removal of deposits and stains from teeth by scaling and root planning.
  
  
• Assisting in the prevention and control of dental caries (decay) and gum disease.
  
  
• Make impressions of patients' mouths for the construction of bleaching trays and mouth guards.
  
  
• Instruct patients on how to look after their teeth and gums after oral surgery
  

Our Hygienist, Paula Fenelon is a highly experienced dental Hygienist and Oral Health Therapist. She is also a Tutor at the University of Queensland Dental School involved in the orthodontic component of the upgrade programme for Oral Health therapists.
Paula will work with you to determine the best oral hygiene routine for your individual needs.
