Benefits of Regular Hygiene Visits
Professional cleaning does what brushing and flossing alone cannot achieve.
Fresher Breath
Remove bacteria and plaque buildup that causes bad breath for lasting freshness.
Help Prevent Gum Disease
Professional cleaning removes tartar that brushing alone cannot, protecting your gums.
Brighter Smile
Remove surface stains from tea, coffee, and wine for a naturally whiter appearance.
General Health
Good oral hygiene is linked to reduced risk of heart disease and other conditions. Your dentist or GP can advise on individual risk factors.
Save Time & Money
Preventive care can help reduce the risk of future dental problems and associated costs.
Expert Care
Our GDC-registered hygienists use the latest techniques for gentle, thorough cleaning.
What is Airflow?
Airflow is a revolutionary dental cleaning technology that uses a controlled stream of air, warm water, and fine powder particles to gently but effectively remove stains, plaque, and biofilm.

Hygiene FAQs
How often should I see a dental hygienist?
Most people benefit from hygiene appointments every 6 months. However, if you have gum disease, smoke, or are prone to tartar buildup, we may recommend visits every 3-4 months for optimal oral health.
Does hygiene treatment hurt?
Professional cleaning is usually comfortable, but some patients may experience sensitivity or discomfort. If you have inflamed gums or heavy tartar buildup, our hygienists are gentle and can use numbing gel if needed.
What is the difference between a scale & polish and Airflow?
A scale & polish uses ultrasonic instruments to remove tartar and hand polishing for stains. Airflow uses a jet of air, water, and fine powder to remove stains and biofilm more thoroughly — ideal for stubborn staining or sensitive teeth.
Can dental hygiene help with bad breath?
Absolutely. Bad breath (halitosis) is often caused by bacteria in plaque and tartar deposits. Professional cleaning removes these deposits and significantly improves breath freshness.
Do I need to see a dentist as well as a hygienist?
Yes, while hygienists focus on cleaning and gum health, dentists diagnose and treat dental problems. We recommend routine dental check-ups alongside hygiene visits. Frequency depends on individual risk and will be advised.
Is the new patient offer really just £49?
Yes! New patients can book their first hygiene appointment for just £49 (normally £89). This includes a full scale & polish and personalised oral health advice.
