A hygienist will perform a thorough cleaning of your teeth. This will remove any plaque and tartar build-up and can even reduce the amount of staining on the surface of the teeth.
More importantly, a hygienist will teach you how to correctly look after your teeth and gums at home to maintain the clean feeling between appointments. The correct toothbrushing and flossing technique is vital for keeping your teeth free of plaque and tartar.
Gum disease and tooth decay can lead to tooth loss. With effective hygienist treatments and good oral health care at home, this can be prevented. We can help you to improve the health of your teeth and gums and keep on top of preventing gum disease.
When you visit us for your dental hygiene appointments, it is important that you inform your specially trained dental hygienist of any problems that you may be having. Bleeding or sore gums and tooth sensitivity can be improved by cleaning and preventative dental care. Your hygienist will put together a tailored programme to achieve your optimum dental health.
During a dental hygiene appointment with one of our experienced hygienists, you will benefit from professional thorough cleaning and a wealth of knowledge. A thorough scale and polish will be carried out to remove plaque, tartar and surface stains.
You will also be assessed, and information and guidance will be given to you on the best way to keep your gums healthy and prevent tooth decay, which can include the use of fissure sealants to reduce food and bacteria sticking to the grooves in your teeth. Although having regular hygienist appointments will work wonders in preventing dental health problems, the main factor is sticking to an excellent oral hygiene routine at home.

Regular visits to a hygienist are essential to prevent gum disease and tooth decay. During your dental hygiene appointment, our experts will remove stubborn plaque and tartar in your gum line that daily brushing and flossing can't reach.
These dental hygiene treatments are crucial for early detection of any dental decay issues, ensuring you can treat gum disease promptly. Long-term effects of gum disease include loss of teeth, gingival recession and heart disease.
Early signs of gum disease include bad breath, loose or sensitive teeth and pain whilst chewing.
To keep your smile healthy, we recommend seeing a hygienist in Birmingham every six months. However, if you're at higher risk for gum disease or other issues, more frequent visits, such as every three months, might be beneficial
