What Is a Holistic Dental Clean? Biological Dental Hygiene with Siobhán Mottley
At Optimal Dental Health in Baker Street, London, dental hygienist Siobhán Mottley takes a personalised, prevention-led approach to oral health, recognising the important relationship between healthy gums, the oral microbiome and overall wellbeing.
A holistic dental clean, also known as biological dental hygiene, goes beyond simply removing plaque and surface stains. It combines professional dental cleaning with a wider assessment of the factors influencing your oral health, including oral hygiene habits, nutrition, gum inflammation and the balance of microorganisms within your mouth.
What Makes Siobhán Mottley’s Approach to Dental Hygiene Different?
As part of the holistic dental team at Optimal Dental Health, Siobhán focuses on helping patients understand their oral health and take a proactive approach to prevention.
Depending on your individual clinical needs, your biological dental hygiene appointment may include:
- Oral Microbiome Assessment: Using phase-contrast microscopy to observe microorganisms within dental plaque and help patients better understand their oral biofilm.
- Airflow Dental Cleaning: Advanced air-polishing technology designed to remove plaque biofilm and surface staining gently and effectively.
- Professional Plaque and Tartar Removal: Helping to reduce bacterial deposits associated with gum inflammation and periodontal disease.
- Ozone-Based Dental Hygiene: Where appropriate, ozone-based techniques may be incorporated as adjuncts to conventional hygiene care, although evidence for additional clinical benefits remains limited.
- Personalised Oral Health Advice: Practical guidance on brushing, interdental cleaning, nutrition and lifestyle habits to support long-term gum health.
Why Does Your Oral Microbiome Matter?
Your mouth is home to hundreds of different microbial species, collectively known as the oral microbiome. Many play a normal role within a healthy oral environment.
However, disruption to the balance of oral microbial communities, alongside the body’s inflammatory response, can contribute to conditions such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
Research has also identified important connections between periodontal health and systemic conditions, particularly type 2 diabetes.
Siobhán’s prevention-focused approach to dental hygiene aims to help patients understand these relationships while supporting healthier gums through professional cleaning, education and personalised care.
