MEET  MARY  MOWBRAY  RDH

​

​Mary Mowbray is a Registered Dental Hygienist, Innovator and Educator in the area of Oral Health, widely respected among her peers, both here and overseas.  Mary is also the Chief Executive of the Institute of Dental Hygiene (the Institute is set up to ensure the professional development of Dental Hygiene in New Zealand).​

Mary graduated from the School of Dental Hygiene in the UK in 1978.  Mary has been in Dental Hygiene for 2 decades, and is passionate about improving the dental health of all that she meets. Your overall health is important to Mary, and it starts with what is going on in your mouth.

Mary works (and is owner) of the Dental Hygiene Clinic, operating in conjunction with Dental Practitioners, Dr Michael Reardon and Dr Kip Stanley-Harris of Langstone Oral Care.

​

Mary says, "It is very important not to leave gum disease untreated as this could lead to possible bone loss, tooth loss, bad breath, and social embarrassment."

The New Zealand Dental Hygienists Association is the professional association for Dental Hygienists in New Zealand. Dental Hygienists are oral health preventative practitioners. All practicing Hygienists in NZ are registered with the Dental Council of NZ and work with Dentists in private practice. Our association was formed in 1993 to unite Hygienists around the country. We have branches across NZ where members can regularly attend meetings to enhance their professional knowledge. Every year we hold an annual conference. The role of the Dental  Hygienist is to help educate and promote healthy oral behaviours in patients as well as the prevention and  treatment of periodontal disease.

WHY  DO I NEED TO SEE  A  DENTAL  HYGIENIST?

​

​Your mouth is an area that is completely different from your entire body, but is also connected, by causing issues in your entire body if the mouth is not healthy.  This unique environment requires special care.  

​

At the Dental Hygiene Clinic, we first assess your soft tissue and check for any unpleasant mouth odours along with how much staining, plaque and calculus you have.

Gum disease is when your body's immune system is responding to plaque formation with inflamed and bleeding gums.  The immune system response is successful at killing off invaders as long as you are maintaining your home care correctly.  As gum disease progresses, so does the destruction of your bone and tissues in your mouth.  That's why preventing gum disease reduces the risk of stroke, heart disease,   and dementia.
