Hygiene
The dental hygienists at Dental Excellence are available to help maintain and improve the overall health and hygiene of our patient’s teeth and oral care.
At Dental Excellence, patients are encouraged to improve the care of their teeth and oral health at home. As part of this journey, we recommend that our patients see dental hygienists on a regular basis. They are highly trained to provide tailored oral health care advice and start you on your path to preventative care.
A dental hygiene appointment at Dental Excellence will involve an examination of the teeth and gums – to assess for the presence of gum disease and to measure the current oral hygiene regimen.
Gum disease is a fairly common occurrence and is the leading cause of tooth loss. It has also been linked to other health issues such as heart disease and diabetes. It is ,however, very easy to prevent and treat, especially with regular visits to the hygienist. Our trained hygienists can help build a bespoke, at-home care routine that is designed around each patient’s healthcare needs.
As part of your hygiene visit, you will receive a thorough cleaning of accumulated plaque and tartar on your teeth using the most suitable technique for each patient.
Patients can also receive Airflow Tooth Polishing during hygiene visits to gently and effectively remove plaque, tartar, and superficial staining.

Airflow Tooth polishing
At Dental Excellence, our dentists, dental hygienists, and patients alike all love Airflow Tooth Polishing.
This highly effective Airflow tooth polishing treatment can help remove the build-up of plaque and staining. This helps to prevent further issues such as gum disease from developing. This makes airflow a highly effective method of brightening your smile and leaving the teeth feeling cleaner and fresher than ever.
Better yet, Airflow is so gentle it can be used on even the most sensitive of teeth. It also works well on teeth with restorations and patients with orthodontic appliances in place. It uses a unique formulation of a controlled jet of air, water, and sodium bicarbonate which works gently and effectively. While Dental Excellence’s highly trained hygienists ensure patients are comfortable throughout.
Children’s Dentistry
At Dental Excellence in Chalfont St. Giles, preventive dental care forms the foundation of our approach, particularly when it comes to children’s dentistry. We are passionate about helping children develop strong, healthy smiles from an early age, knowing that early intervention can make a world of difference in preventing future dental issues. We strongly encourage parents in Chalfont St. Giles and the surrounding areas to bring their children to our practice as soon as their first tooth erupts.
Starting dental care early is essential for maintaining good oral health throughout childhood and beyond. By bringing your child in for regular check-ups from a young age, we can monitor their dental development closely, ensuring that any potential problems are detected and addressed before they become more serious. Regular visits also help familiarize children with the dental environment, reducing the likelihood of developing dental anxiety or phobias later in life. We believe that making dental care a positive and routine experience early on can instill good oral hygiene habits that last a lifetime.
The importance of early dental visits for children in Chalfont St. Giles
In a community like Chalfont St. Giles, where families are often looking for trusted healthcare providers, our team at Dental Excellence is dedicated to offering the highest quality care for even our youngest patients. Bringing your child to the dentist early is not just about checking for cavities—it’s about setting them on a path toward lifelong oral health. During these initial visits, we take the time to educate both parents and children on proper brushing and flossing techniques, dietary advice, and the importance of regular check-ups. These visits also allow us to build a positive relationship with your child, helping them feel comfortable and confident during their appointments.
We know that dental issues, such as tooth decay, can develop quickly in young children, especially if good oral hygiene practices are not followed. Our goal is to prevent these issues through education, regular monitoring, and preventive treatments that protect your child’s teeth from harm. We focus on creating an environment where children feel safe and cared for, encouraging them to adopt healthy dental habits that will serve them well into adulthood.
Regular check-ups and preventive treatments
At Dental Excellence, the cornerstone of our children’s dentistry program is regular check-ups. These appointments allow us to assess the development of your child’s teeth and gums, ensuring that everything is progressing as it should. During these visits, our experienced team will thoroughly examine your child’s teeth, looking for any signs of decay, misalignment, or other issues that may require attention.
In addition to routine examinations, we may recommend preventive treatments to keep your child’s teeth healthy. For example:
Fluoride applications: Fluoride is a mineral that helps strengthen the enamel and prevent tooth decay. We may apply fluoride to your child’s teeth during their check-up, particularly if they are at higher risk for cavities.
Fissure sealants: Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where decay is most likely to occur. This simple treatment can be highly effective in preventing cavities, especially in children with deep grooves in their molars.
