Our dental hygienists are specialists in preventive oral health care. Regular hygienist appointments are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums, complementing your daily oral hygiene routine and helping prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
Our hygienists provide professional teeth cleaning to remove plaque and tartar that brushing alone cannot reach, polish teeth to remove surface stains, apply fluoride treatments, provide personalised oral hygiene instruction, and screen for early signs of gum disease.
Even with excellent home care, plaque can build up in hard-to-reach areas and harden into tartar, which can only be removed professionally. Regular hygienist visits help prevent gum disease, reduce your risk of cavities, and keep your breath fresh and your smile bright.
We offer a range of hygiene treatments to suit your needs, from standard scale and polish to advanced Airflow cleaning and guided biofilm therapy. Our hygienists will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your individual oral health status.
Most people benefit from hygienist appointments every 6 months, but this varies based on individual needs. Those with gum disease, smokers, diabetics, or those prone to heavy tartar buildup may benefit from more frequent visits.
