Preventative Dentistry » Dental Hygiene

Visiting a dental hygienist is an important part of keeping your teeth and gums healthy long term. Studies show that people who visit the hygienist are much less likely to lose their teeth from gum disease than those that don't.

If you do suffer from any form of gum disease seeing the Dental Hygienist every 3-6 months is an important part of keeping your teeth long term.

Gum disease is entirely preventable. Its treatment will include regular visits seeing the dental hygienist for treatment and working with us to help improve and maintain your dental health. Frequency and intervals of appointments required will be discussed with you.

Making an appointment with our dental hygienist is easy. Simply ask a member of our reception team for details.

A classic scale and polish removes traces of plaque and hard tartar which cannot be removed by simply brushing alone. The polishing stage helps to clean your teeth and helps remove stains which may have been caused by smoking, red wine, coffee, tea etc.

If you have excessive staining on your teeth, recently had a brace removed or have a special occasion coming up, why not treat yourself to a clean to brighten and freshen your smile.
