Dental Hygiene
Dental hygiene focuses on keeping your teeth and gums clean and healthy through professional cleaning and preventive care. Even with good brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
A dental hygiene appointment usually includes a thorough scale and polish to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains. The hygienist will also check your gum health and give personalised advice on brushing, flossing, and diet.
At our clinic, dental hygiene visits are designed to be gentle and effective. Regular hygiene appointments help maintain fresh breath, healthy gums, and a clean, bright smile, while reducing the risk of future dental problems.

FAQs
How often should I see a dental hygienist?
Most people benefit from a visit every six months, but some may need more frequent appointments.
Will hygiene treatment whiten my teeth?
It removes surface stains, making teeth look cleaner and brighter, but it is not the same as whitening.
What can I do between visits?
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss or use interdental brushes, and limit sugary foods and drinks.
