Seeing a hygienist

Dental Hygienists are specially trained to clean your teeth to a high standard, removing plaque buildup and preventing gum disease.

Seeing a hygienist during your treatment can help support your oral health by keeping plaque buildup at bay and providing a professional cleaning.

What to expect from a hygienist

Hygienists work alongside dentists to provide treatments that prevent plaque buildup, tooth decay and gum disease and they play a key role in your overall dental health.

Appointments with a hygienist usually involve a professional and thorough cleaning of your teeth. Typically called a scale and polish, these appointments are mainly spent removing plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth.

Your hygienists can also advise about correct cleaning methods, products and routines, plus information about diet and preventing tooth decay.
