The basics
What is a hygiene visit?
A proper professional clean
A hygiene visit is a thorough clean of your teeth and gums, carried out by our hygienist. It clears away the hardened plaque, tartar and stains that build up over time and that brushing alone simply cannot shift.
You leave with teeth that feel noticeably smoother and fresher, and gums that are healthier for it. Most people are surprised by the difference.
Gentle, start to finish
We gently remove the build-up from along and just below the gum line, polish your teeth to lift surface stains, and finish with simple, tailored advice for keeping things fresh at home.
It is comfortable throughout, and if your gums are a little sensitive we will take extra care and go at your pace.
Every few months
For most people, a hygiene visit every six months keeps things in good shape, often alongside a check-up. Some benefit from coming a little more often, particularly if they are prone to build-up or gum problems.
We will suggest a rhythm that suits you rather than a fixed rule, and sort a reminder so it looks after itself.
Good for more than your smile
Regular cleans are one of the best ways to prevent gum disease, the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Keeping your gums healthy protects the teeth that sit in them.
There is a feel-good side too: fresher breath, a brighter smile, and that clean, smooth feeling that lasts. It is a small visit with a big payoff.

Calm, careful careThe benefits
The benefits of a hygiene visit
01A fresher, cleaner feel
The most immediate benefit: teeth that feel smooth and properly clean, and breath that feels fresher. It is the feeling people come back for.
02Healthier gums
Removing the build-up along the gum line is the single best way to prevent gum disease and keep the foundation your teeth sit in strong.
03A brighter smile
A polish lifts the surface stains left by tea, coffee and red wine, so your natural shade shows through and your smile looks brighter.
04Keep your teeth longer
By keeping gum disease at bay, regular cleans help you hold on to your own teeth for longer. Prevention really is the simplest dentistry there is.
05Fresher breath
A lot of bad breath comes from bacteria sitting below the gum line. A proper clean clears it out at the source, leaving your breath noticeably fresher.
06Advice that fits you
You leave with simple, practical tips tailored to your teeth, so your home routine works harder and the fresh feeling lasts longer between visits.

Aftercare
Making that fresh feeling last
A hygiene visit gives you a clean slate. A few simple habits keep that smooth, fresh feeling going for longer and your gums healthy between visits.
Twice a day
Brush well, morning and night
Two minutes, with a soft or medium brush angled towards the gum line, and a fluoride toothpaste. Spit, do not rinse, so the fluoride keeps working. It is the single best habit for keeping teeth fresh.
The bit most people skip
Clean between your teeth
Brushing misses the gaps between teeth, where build-up creeps back first. Floss or interdental brushes once a day keep them clear, and it takes less than a minute once it is a habit.
For the stains
Mind the tea and coffee
Tea, coffee and red wine are the usual culprits behind surface stains. You do not have to give them up, but rinsing with water afterwards helps keep that just-polished look for longer.
Keeping on top of it
Come back regularly
Build-up returns over time no matter how well you brush, so a clean every few months keeps it in check. We will suggest a rhythm that suits you and sort a reminder so it looks after itself.
