Fresh, Healthy Smiles with Our Hygienists
Our gentle, friendly hygienists are here to help you look after your smile and keep your mouth feeling fresh. Regular hygiene visits are the key to preventing gum disease, keeping your breath fresh, and maintaining bright, healthy teeth.
What We Do
Whether you're one of our loyal patients who routinely sees us for their regular scheduled appointments, or it's been years since you've had a professional clean, we love giving you that polished clean feeling!
Gum Health & Gingivitis Care
Bleeding, swollen gums or bad breath can be early signs of gingivitis. Our hygienists provide professional cleaning and tailored advice to help stop gum disease in its tracks. Regular visits combined with good home care can reverse gingivitis and protect your oral health.
Your Hygiene Appointment
At each appointment, your hygienist will:
-
Remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains
-
Polish and floss your teeth
-
Apply fluoride if needed
-
Check for signs of gum disease or other oral health issues
-
Give you personalised advice on brushing, flossing, and home care
Tooth Whitening
If you’re interested in a brighter smile, we can discuss safe, effective whitening options and provide take-home whitening kits (Opalescence PF).
