Dental hygiene treatment is designed to protect your oral health and prevent issues that affect your teeth and gums, such as gum disease and tooth decay. Hygienists are experts in cleaning away stubborn deposits of plaque and tartar, building on your oral hygiene routine at home to keep your smile in the best condition.
Regular dental hygiene appointments are considered the best way to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Your hygiene care consists of a professional ‘scale and polish’ treatment, leaving your mouth feeling smooth and healthy. We also check for signs of gum disease and other problems every time you visit, aiming to catch and treat any issues before they worsen.
