Hygiene treatment fast facts
Maintaining healthy gums can be difficult, and is often impossible without professional help. We are best placed to look after your gum health, reducing the risk of gum disease and preventing potentially painful and complex issues. Having your teeth and gums professionally cleaned regularly allows you to keep your mouth healthy and your teeth looking brighter.
Our professional hygienists also provide supportive periodontal care to people susceptible to periodontal disease. We use the most advanced ultrasonic equipment, including the EMS Airflow® Master with temperature control, to ensure comfortable and effective treatment.

What does the treatment involve?
At the start of your appointment, we ask you a little about your oral care routine at home and if you have any areas of concern. We also ask about your overall general health.
The main part of your hygiene appointment involves a thorough teeth clean and polish. During the deep clean, we remove stubborn tartar from all the hard-to-reach areas of your mouth, using our innovative equipment for the best possible results. We then professionally polish your teeth, leaving them feeling smoother, cleaner and brighter.
To finish, we will give you some advice on how to properly care for your teeth and gums. We can show you how to use interdental cleaning tools properly so you can keep up the hard work at home.

Your appointment usually starts with a short examination and advice on improving your oral health, preventing gum disease or tooth decay and options for sensitive teeth. Our advanced ultrasonic equipment uses water and gentle vibrations to professionally clean and polish your teeth, removing plaque, tartar and staining. In some cases, a local anaesthetic is placed in your gum to ensure you stay comfortable throughout treatment.
A typical dental hygiene treatment takes around 20-30 minutes in total, but may last longer if you need more involved care. This gives enough time to remove plaque and tartar build-up from your teeth and help them look and feel clean, shiny and healthy.
No, the equipment used by our dental professionals does not damage your teeth, fillings, bridges or other restorations. We are best placed to look after your teeth, not cause damage to them! Please let us know if you have any loose teeth or fillings at the start of your appointment.
You shouldn’t find the treatment painful, although sometimes there can be short periods of sensitivity or mild discomfort during your hygiene clean. Afterwards, you will not be in pain and your mouth will feel healthier, cleaner and brighter.
We recommend that most people have routine dental hygiene treatment every six months, to help you maintain optimal oral health for the long term. We’re happy to let you know the best time to book your next appointment.
Long-term research has shown that people who are susceptible to periodontal disease benefit from periodontal supportive care every 12 weeks (4 times a year) to maintain oral health and prevent tooth loss.
