What is Dental Hygiene?
A closer look at the treatment.
Good gum health is just as important as healthy teeth. Our dental hygiene service focuses on removing plaque and tartar buildup, treating early gum disease, and helping you maintain excellent oral health between check-ups.
Regular hygiene visits also help keep other treatments, such as implants, crowns and veneers, looking and performing their best for longer.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about Dental Hygiene.
Your consultation is the best place to receive advice based on your own oral health and medical history.
How often should I see a hygienist?
Most patients benefit from a hygiene visit every three to six months, depending on individual needs.
Is a scale and polish painful?
Most patients find it comfortable, with only mild sensitivity in areas of gum inflammation.
Can hygiene visits whiten my teeth?
They remove surface staining, giving a brighter appearance, though they do not change the natural tooth colour like whitening treatment.
Why do my gums bleed when I brush?
Bleeding gums are often an early sign of gum disease and usually improve with professional cleaning and better home care.
