Dental Hygiene
Prevent future problems
It’s important to have regular appointments to maintain good oral hygiene and to stop problems from arising. If you haven’t had an appointment for a while, it is vital to come and see us soon, especially if you have any of the following:
- Bleeding gums when brushing your teeth
- Sensitivity to hot or cold food and/or drink
- Pain when chewing
- Crowns, fillings or dental implants
- A medical condition that increases the risk to your oral health, such as diabetes, kidney disease or Alzheimer’s
With regular visits to the hygienist, we’ll be able to spot early signs of gum disease, and help prevent it altogether.
However, if you are concerned that you may already have gum disease, then we’ll be able to clear the cause of the infection and, in many cases, remove it entirely.

A professional clean
Airflow works by using a high-pressured jet of concentrated air, water and bicarbonate at the surfaces of your teeth. This targeted jet cleans between your teeth to remove plaque and tartar, as well as blasting stains.
Airflow is not only much quicker than standard scaling and polishing methods, but provides a more complete clean. As well as removing the buildup of plaque and tartar on the surface of the teeth, it can reach below the gum line to help clear away harmful bacteria.
