Dental Hygienist
Professional cleaning, stain removal and gum health assessment. The single most effective thing you can do to keep your teeth long-term. From £67.20.
Why hygienist visits matter
Brushing and flossing cannot remove hardened tartar that builds up along and below the gum line. This tartar harbours bacteria that cause gum disease — the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. A hygienist removes what your toothbrush cannot reach.
Appointments include ultrasonic scaling, hand scaling for precision, polishing to remove surface stains, and personalised advice on brushing technique and interdental cleaning.
What to expect
A 30-minute appointment. Ultrasonic scaler breaks up tartar comfortablely, followed by hand instruments for detail. Teeth polished with prophylaxis paste. Sensitivity is minimal — numbing gel available for sensitive areas.
