Your dental hygiene treatment steps
Step 2 - Scaling
We use gentle techniques and specialist tools to remove build-ups of plaque and tartar from your teeth, especially the hard-to-reach areas.
Step 3 - Polishing
Following the scaling, we professionally polish your teeth so they look and feel smoother and cleaner. Hygiene treatment doesn’t whiten your teeth, but they will look much brighter and more youthful with stubborn plaque removed.
Step 4 - Advice
To finish, we give you some tailored advice to help you keep your mouth healthy at home. This includes tips for your oral hygiene routine, diet and lifestyle. We also advise when you should book your next appointment.
Why is dental hygiene care important?
Your gums are the foundation of your healthy smile, keeping your teeth in place and providing solid support. Visiting your hygienist for regular treatment is vital for keeping your mouth free from gum disease and decay that could compromise your oral health.
Dental hygienists are experts at looking after your gum health, cleaning away bacteria and plaque that has the potential to become a more severe problem if left. During your visit, your hygienist can also spot and treat any developing issues to keep your smile complete and care for your overall well-being too.

Frequently asked questions
A dental hygienist focuses on preventive oral healthcare, removing plaque and tartar from your teeth to stop the development of gum disease and other issues. They are highly qualified in oral health education and deliver tailored treatment for your individual case. Hygienists also help you with your oral hygiene routines at home so you can maintain a healthy mouth.
We recommend that most people visit the hygienist every six months, often in line with their routine dental check-ups. This depends on your individual case, so you may be asked to attend more frequently for a period of time to help get your oral health in the best possible condition.
A scale and polish is a professional cleaning treatment performed by a dental hygienist. The ‘scaling’ part involves using special tools to carefully remove plaque, bacteria, and hardened tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and below the gumline. The ‘polishing’ part uses a special paste and a small brush to smooth the teeth, removing surface stains and leaving them feeling fresh and bright.
A dental hygiene appointment shouldn’t hurt. You may find some parts uncomfortable, particularly when your teeth are being scaled or scraped, but this is short-lived. We always make sure you are feeling relaxed before we begin, and are able to stop at any point if you need a break. If you are feeling nervous, please let us know so we can tailor our care to your needs.
The most common early sign of gum disease is swollen and red gums that bleed when brushed. Other symptoms include tooth sensitivity, persistent bad breath and receding gums. When caught early, the first stage of gum disease, gingivitis, can be reversed. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, which can lead to loose teeth and even tooth loss if not controlled.
The first stage of gum disease is known as gingivitis. If left untreated, gingivitis can lead to periodontitis, which can cause gums to separate from the teeth, creating pockets that can get infected. These pockets, over time, will deepen, the gums will continue to recede, and eventually, teeth can become loose and may have to be removed.
