Overview

Understanding Dental Hygiene

A hygiene appointment focuses on your gums and the surfaces of your teeth. Kirsty gently removes plaque and tartar, checks for signs of gum disease, and polishes away surface staining so your teeth feel smooth and fresh.

Just as important is the chat about your routine. We show you which brushes and interdental cleaners suit your mouth and give you simple habits that protect your gums between visits.

Good to Know

Is This Treatment Right for Me?

That depends on your oral health, your medical history and what you hope to achieve. An examination with one of our dentists is the best way to find out.

How long does treatment take?

It depends on the treatment and on you; your dentist will give you a timescale in your plan.

Do I need an examination first?

Usually, yes. An examination lets us check your teeth and gums and explain whether this treatment suits you before anything begins.

How much does it cost?

Fees depend on your plan. A new patient exam is £65, and you get a written estimate before treatment.
