Hygienist - Karen Armstrong

Hygienist - Karen Armstrong E.D.H. (Lond)

Karen is our hygienist who qualified from the Royal Dental School, London in 1983. She helps patients maintain dental fitness through regular thorough cleaning.

Why is it important to see a Hygienist?

Your gums are the glue that hold your teeth in place. Regular visits to a Hygienist helps keep that glue strong and stable for the long term, increasing the chances of you keeping all your teeth, all your life. As Karen says, ÒThere is no point spending money on ChristianÕs wonderful crowns, if the patientÕs gum isnÕt strong enough to hold it in place. My job is to work with Christian to help the patient stay orally fit for the long termÓ During your Hygienist appointment, Karen will give advice on cleaning habits, including the areas that need special attention, prevention and management of gum disease, halitosis, and any other questions you have about your dental health.
