Hygiene Services

A dental hygiene appointment is a preventive dental visit focused on maintaining oral health by professionally cleaning your teeth. Regular hygiene visits are also important for preventing disease, protecting dental work, and with long term benefits for your oral and overall health.

Regular hygiene appointments provide:

  • Professional removal of harmful hard plaque
  • Advice and techniques - we work with you to prevent tooth decay and gum disease
  • Fresher breath and a brighter smile for improved self-esteem

Benefits

Dental hygienists remove plaque (a sticky film of bacteria) and tartar (hardened plaque), which are the main causes of cavities. Regular cleanings help stop decay before it starts, especially in hard-to-reach areas that brushing and flossing miss.

Gingivitis (early-stage gum disease) and Periodontitus (advanced gum disease) - tartar buildup near or below the gumline can cause inflammation and infection. Cleaning reduces the risk of gingivitis and can help manage or prevent periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss.

Gum disease has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, stroke, Alzheimer’s, and respiratory infections - a dental hygiene appointment can reduce oral bacteria, potentially lowering your risk of these conditions.

Chronic bad breath (halitosis) is often caused by bacteria, food particles, and gum disease and professional cleaning removes odour-causing buildup and improves your overall breath quality.

Polishing during a hygiene visit removes surface stains from coffee, tea, tobacco, and food. Your teeth appear cleaner, brighter, and smoother, giving you a more confident smile.

If you have crowns, bridges, implants, or veneers, a cleaning helps maintain them by reducing buildup around them and preventing decay or gum issues that could lead to failure.

Preventive care helps avoid serious and costly procedures like root canals, gum surgery, tooth extractions, crowns or implants.

Our Hygienists offer tips on brushing and flossing techniques, fluoride use, diet and habits affecting oral health and managing dry mouth, sensitivity, or bad breath.
