What is a dental hygienist appointment?
A dental hygienist is an important part of the dental team. They are responsible for carrying out deep cleaning to help remove all traces of plaque and tartar from the teeth. While brushing and flossing can help to protect your teeth, this won't clean hard to reach areas and below the gum line. With a hygienist cleaning – sometimes known as a scale and polish – you'll enjoy a deep cleaning that helps to protect your teeth against periodontal disease.
Who can benefit from this treatment?
Everyone can benefit from regular hygienist cleanings. If you are worried about gum disease, this treatment can help to stop and even reverse the damage. It's also ideal for removing surfacing staining from your teeth, which is great if you're preparing for cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening. You can also benefit from a hygienist visit before and after cosmetic treatments like dental implants or orthodontics. If you'd like to learn more about how this can help, book a consultation today.

Effective gum disease treatment
Gum disease is a very common and highly treatable condition that affects around 50% of UK adults. You may know this condition as periodontitis. It occurs when plaque and tartar deposits on the teeth cause inflammation and damage to the gums. As the gums shrink, the teeth become exposed, and it can eventually lead to tooth loss as the supporting structures recede. Regular professional cleanings are highly effective for preventing further damage.
Airflow Stain Removal
A traditional scale and polish will use tools and instruments to scrape the deposits from your teeth. While highly effective, it isn’t always very pleasant for the patient. We can now use a system called Airflow Stain Removal to gently buff the surface of the teeth. Airflow uses a fine jet of water, air and particles to achieve the same results, reaching those difficult areas between the teeth and along the gum line. Treatment takes around 30 minutes.

Your dental hygienist treatment journey
Wondering what is involved with a dental hygienist appointment? This is what you can expect
Through early intervention, we can often stop the advancement of gum disease. We usually start with regular cleanings to help remove plaque and tartar deposits, combined with special products used at home to ease the inflammation.
Patients will often brush before their appointment for their own peace of mind, but this isn’t always necessary. Stick to your usual oral care routine if you prefer. If you wear a denture or orthodontic apparatus, make sure you bring this to the appointment. You might want to make a list of questions that you would like to ask so that you don’t forget anything.
Most people can benefit from 1-2 visits per year, as this will help you to maintain a clean mouth and fresh breath. Other patients might need to visit more often, particularly those dealing with gum disease.
Yes, we offer direct access dental hygiene appointments, which means you don’t need a referral from your dentist to book. Simply get in touch with our reception team to find out more.
