FAQs

What are the benefits of regular hygiene visits?

Regular hygiene visits are essential for maintaining healthy gums and preventing gum disease. Our hygienists will remove plaque and tartar, which can lead to gum disease and tooth decay, while also offering personalised advice on how to care for your teeth and gums at home.

What is gum disease, and how can I prevent it?

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a condition that affects the gums and bone structures that support your teeth. It can lead to tooth loss if untreated. Prevention starts with regular visits to the hygienist, maintaining a good oral hygiene routine at home, and addressing any early signs of gum disease before they become more serious.

What is Direct Access Hygiene, and how does it work?

Direct Access Hygiene allows you to visit our hygienists directly, without needing a referral from a dentist. This service is available to both existing patients and those with their own dentist, offering flexible appointment times to suit your schedule. It’s a convenient option for those who need routine cleaning or just want to freshen up their smile before a special occasion.

What is air polishing, and how can it help me?

Air polishing is an advanced dental hygiene treatment that uses air, water, and a fine powder to gently and effectively remove plaque and stubborn stains. It’s particularly helpful for patients who consume staining foods and beverages like tea, coffee, and wine or those who smoke. It’s also recommended before tooth whitening procedures to enhance the final result.

Can my gums return to good health?

Yes with the correct management and a good daily oral hygiene regime, we can restore gum health and stabalise your gum disease

What’s the difference between a hygiene appointment and a dental check-up?

A hygiene appointment focuses on the maintenance of your oral health. Our hygienist will professionally clean your teeth, remove plaque and tartar, polish your smile, and offer advice on how to keep your teeth and gums healthy at home. However, hygienists do not diagnose dental diseases.

A dental check-up, on the other hand, is a comprehensive review of your overall oral health carried out by a dentist. This includes checking for tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other issues that may require treatment. Your dentist can diagnose problems and create a treatment plan if needed.

For the best care, we recommend having both regularly—your hygiene visit keeps things clean, while your dental exam ensures everything stays healthy.
