what happens at a dental hygienist appointment?
We start with a friendly oral health chat to understand your habits, concerns, current teeth cleaning techniques and goals. During a hygiene appointment, we remove deposits, plaque, tartar and stains using ultrasonic cleaning. Where helpful, we finish with fluoride to strengthen enamel.
We always aim to provide gentle, pain-free hygiene care, delivered by our skilled private dental hygienist to remove plaque, tartar, and stains.
We are also on hand to provide tailored tips on how to improve your oral health and reduce the occurrence of staining and plaque build up at home, with step-by-step demos on interdental brushes/floss, and technique.
How does the dental hygienist clean your teeth?
Our dental hygienist will use a tiny vibrating tip to loosen and rinse off hard plaque, then use a scraper instrument to pick off remaining plaque and ensure the tooth is entirely clean. Finally, we’ll polish your teeth, applied to make the tooth surface smooth, preventing plaque from easily adhering in the future.
