Why hygiene visits matter
Regular hygiene appointments can help prevent common dental problems before they start. They reduce your risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath, and give us a clear picture of your oral health over time.
What to expect during your visit
Your appointment begins with an assessment of your teeth and gums. We then remove plaque and tartar using gentle, modern cleaning techniques. The treatment may include scaling, polishing, and advice on areas that need extra attention at home.
Our patients find hygiene treatments comfortable and leave feeling noticeably cleaner and brighter.
After your appointment
You can return to normal activities immediately. If your gums are inflamed, you may experience mild tenderness for a short time — this is normal and usually settles within a day. We’ll provide personalised tips to help keep your gums healthy and minimise future build-up.
Keeping your smile healthy
For most people, hygiene treatments are recommended every six months, though we may suggest more frequent visits if you are managing gum disease or have other concerns. Regular care at home, combined with professional cleaning, is the best way to keep your smile healthy for life.
