Why Dental Hygiene Matters

Plaque and tartar can build up over time, increasing the risk of gum disease and other oral health problems. Even with regular brushing and flossing, some deposits can be difficult to remove at home. Professional hygiene appointments help keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy, while supporting fresher breath and a brighter smile.

Brushing and flossing are essential for daily oral care, but professional hygiene appointments help remove stubborn plaque and tartar that can be difficult to tackle at home. Regular hygiene visits can help protect your gums, maintain good oral health and reduce the risk of gum disease.

Reviews

Whenever I come to visit for a hygienist session, I always have a positive and comfortable experience with Jane. It’s actually enjoyable to attend rather than feeling like another admin to do. Jane is super welcoming and friendly, which improves the experience greatly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I improve my oral health between visits?

Maintaining good oral hygiene at home is crucial. Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily to remove plaque between teeth, and consider using interdental brushes or a water flosser. Limiting sugary foods and drinks, and avoiding tobacco products, also contribute to better oral health. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings help in early detection and prevention of dental issues.

No, you can book a direct access appointment with our hygienist without seeing a dentist first. However, if you have more complex dental concerns, we may recommend a dental check-up first.

A hygiene visit can make your teeth appear brighter by removing surface stains and tartar, but it’s not the same as teeth whitening. We also offer professional whitening treatments if you’re looking for a whiter smile.

Most people benefit from seeing a hygienist every 6 months, but some patients—especially those with a history of gum disease or who wear braces—may need more frequent visits.

Most patients find the treatment comfortable. If you have sensitive teeth or inflamed gums, we can use numbing gel or local anaesthetic to ensure your comfort.
