Dental Hygienist
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile
Regular appointments with a dental hygienist play an important role in preventing gum disease and keeping your teeth healthy for life
Our dental hygiene team removes plaque and hardened calculus that cannot be removed by brushing alone, helping to prevent gum disease, tooth decay and bad breath. We also provide practical advice tailored to you, so you can confidently care for your teeth and gums at home.
Whether you're maintaining healthy gums or managing the early stages of gum disease, regular hygiene visits can help keep your smile healthy and reduce the need for more extensive treatment in the future.
What happens during a hygiene appointment?
Every appointment is tailored to your oral health needs and may include:
A full assessment of your gum health
Removal of plaque and calculus (scale and clean)
Polishing to remove surface staining
Personalised brushing and flossing advice
Recommendations for oral care products
Monitoring areas that may need ongoing care
