  • A quick way to clean your teeth and gums
  • Freshen your breath by removing stubborn food deposits
  • Prevent gum disease, inflammation and tooth loss
Dental hygiene services are a great way to keep your teeth clean, keep your breath fresh and keep gum disease at bay.

During each appointment we’ll check for signs of gum disease, inflammation and bleeding. We’ll remove any plaque and tartar and advise you on your oral health routine to prevent future build-ups.

Our popular cleaning & hygiene services help to prevent long term problems such as root inflammation or tooth loss that may need more comprehensive & costly treatments in the future.

Your dental hygiene options…
NHS scale

An NHS scale is a quick & effective way of removing plaque and tartar deposits that build up around the teeth. An NHS scale is performed during a dental checkup if it is clinically necessary.

Dental hygienist appointment

An dental hygienist appointment is a full mouth scale and debridement, a full mouth polish and oral hygiene instruction with a dental hygienist who specialises in Periodontal (gum) treatment. You can choose from a 20 or 30 minute appointment.

AirFlow Polish

An AirFlow Polish appointment is a separate treatment that uses a mix of water, compressed air and fine powder particles to remove tooth surface stains such as general discolouration and brown smokers stains.

    I was so happy with the results. Throughout the process Dr Sacranie put me at ease and answered all my questions.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does it hurt?

    A hygiene appointment doesn’t hurt, but you may feel a little discomfort if we have a lot of plaque to remove or if you’re showing signs of gum disease. If you are concerned about pain, please ask the Dentist or Hygienist about a Local Anaesthetic. Rest assured we do our best to make your appointment as comfortable as possible.

    How long are the appointments?

    Appointments can be anywhere between 20 – 30 minutes, depending on the level of service you require.

    How often should I see the hygienist?

    This depends on the state of your teeth and gums. We have patients who visit us quarterly whereas others visit once or twice a year.

    Can my child see the hygienist?

    Seeing the hygienist is a great idea once your childs’ adult teeth have come through. It will also give us an opportunity to advise them on cleaning their teeth to help prevent costly treatments in the future.

    Are your hygienists qualified?

    Yes. We employ fully qualified and experienced dental hygienists who are trained specifically in providing this service. They are all members of the General Dental Council and the British Dental Association. You can meet our hygienists here.

    What are the costs?

    A full list of our services and pricing is published here. Many patients join Denplan to help spread the costs of their dental treatments.
