Dental hygienists will offer customised advice on flossing, brushing, and other care tips to maintain healthy gums and teeth.
They can identify warning signs of oral issues like broken fillings and cavities, providing effective treatment before they worsen.
Professional tooth cleaning removes external surface stains caused by substances such as wine, tobacco, coffee, and tea, resulting in a white and bright smile.
Regular professional cleaning combats prolonged bad breath by removing odour-causing tartar, plaque, and bacteria.
Improved dental health can also enhance overall physical health. Poor dental hygiene is linked to several health issues, such as stroke, heart disease, and diabetes. Routine visits not only improve dental health but also overall health.
The dental hygienist in the UK will assess the health condition of your gums, teeth, and other parts of the mouth. They will conduct screening to identify any warning signs of oral cancer. You will be asked about your general health status and oral health concerns since your last visit. X-rays may be necessary to detect dormant issues.
After the comprehensive exam, screening, and X-rays, the hygienist can diagnose main concerns such as dental cavities or decay and suggest a suitable treatment plan. Professional teeth cleaning will help prevent other potential oral issues.

Poor oral hygiene can lead to numerous health problems. Irregular brushing can cause bad breath, cavities, and tooth decay. Additionally, poor oral health has been linked to serious health issues such as an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease.
During your first hygienist appointment at our partner dental clinics, your gums and teeth will be thoroughly examined to assess your oral health status. The dental hygienist will provide necessary advice and treatment to improve your oral health.
For the first two hours after treatment, avoid stained items such as red wine, cigarettes, beetroot, coffee, and tea. After this period, you can resume normal eating, but it's best to avoid stain-inducing items to maintain the treatment's effects.
According to dental experts, both adults and children should undergo an extensive oral examination and teeth cleaning twice a year. Patients with a history of periodontal disease or other recurring oral issues may need more frequent professional cleaning and check-ups.
Brush your teeth twice daily for 2 minutes each time. Brush in small circular motions, reaching every corner of your mouth. Use a pea-sized amount of fluoride-based toothpaste to brush your teeth and gums gently.
Teeth typically do not hurt after professional cleaning, but you may experience some temporary sensitivity or tenderness. This should subside within a day or two. If you experience pain after professional cleaning, contact the hygienist for necessary care.
On average, professional dental cleaning at our partner dental practices lasts between 30 minutes and an hour. During your visit, you will lie back in a comfortable chair for the dental exam. The hygienist will assess and remove tartar and plaque before it erodes the enamel, followed by a polishing session.
