Dental Hygiene

Why should I see a hygienist?

With more adult teeth being lost through gum disease rather than tooth decay, regular dental hygiene treatment is essential to keeping your gums and teeth healthy. Regular visits to a hygienist combined with dental check-ups and looking after your teeth and gums at home will greatly improve the appearance of your teeth and your oral health.

What is a dental hygiene treatment like?

At your hygiene appointment our skilled professionals will thoroughly examine the gums and the structures that support the teeth. This is to help identify, prevent, protect, and in some cases treat them for gum disease. There will also be a full cleaning of the gums and teeth, stains will be removed and teeth polished to brighten up your smile.  If your teeth and gums are sensitive we can provide this under local anaesthetic.
