Why dental hygiene matters
Even with the best at-home brushing, there are places your toothbrush can’t reach. Our hygienist will clean thoroughly, gently remove build-up, and spot early signs of gum issues before they become a problem.
Plus, we’ll personalise your advice — so you can make small changes that really pay off.
Nervous or unsure?
We’re used to treating patients who haven’t had a clean in years. You’ll be met with zero judgement, and everything will be explained before we start.
What happens during a hygiene appointment
We’ll ask how things have been feeling, check your medical history, and talk through what the appointment involves.
Using careful techniques, we’ll remove plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth — especially the areas your brush can’t reach.
We’ll show you any areas that need extra care and help you make small changes that suit your lifestyle and brushing habits.
You’ll leave with cleaner teeth, healthier gums, and that fresh-mouth feeling — plus clarity on when to come back next.
What patients often ask us

We’ll always work gently, and can adjust our techniques to suit you. Just let us know if something feels uncomfortable — you're in control throughout.
Most people benefit from a hygiene visit every six months, but we’ll give you advice based on your needs, habits, and gum health.
Yes — a hygiene clean removes surface stains and buildup, often leaving your teeth visibly brighter. It’s not whitening, but it’s a great first step.
