What is dental hygiene treatment?

Dental hygiene treatment is essential for keeping your teeth and gums healthy and free from gum disease and decay. A good brushing and flossing routine at home is a very important factor in your ongoing oral health, but a regular professional clean will help remove build-up and monitor any changes. During hygiene treatment, plaque and tartar deposits are cleaned away from all areas, especially those that you find hard to reach.

Our experienced hygienists are best placed to look after your gum health, protecting your smile from bacteria that could lead to gum disease. The symptoms of gum disease can be mild and are often overlooked, so a visit to the hygienist enables this to be caught and treated early. We are dedicated to providing the best treatment for you, so new oral care techniques are introduced during different phases in your life.
