Our hygienists in Kent are professional clinicians and an integral part of our team. They work closely with our dentists to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and disease-free, providing oral hygiene advice tailored to your needs.

Your Dental Hygiene Visit
Hygienist appointments usually last 30 minutes. Our dental hygiene treatment includes:
- Analysis of your current oral hygiene routine and any difficulties you are having in cleaning particular areas
- Thorough assessment of your gum health to detect and prevent any early signs of gum disease
- Comprehensive cleaning of your gums and teeth, removing harmful deposits and paying careful attention to areas that you cannot access easily
- Teeth polishing, to remove superficial stains and restore the brightness of your smile
- Discussion and demonstration on how to maintain your hygiene at home

Maintaining Oral Hygiene at Home
To keep your smile healthy and bright, pair your routine hygiene appointments with a thorough dental routine at home. Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and clean between your teeth using floss or interdental brushes. Not sure which products or techniques work best for you? Our experienced dental hygienists are here to guide you.

Dental Hygienist FAQs

The frequency of hygienist appointments depends on whether it is for routine maintenance, stain removal or treatment of gum disease. Your private hygienist will be able to discuss your risk level and establish how often you should attend. Most patients see their dental hygienist every 6 months, but you can choose to attend as frequently as you like.
Routine hygienist appointments include assessment of oral hygiene and gum health, oral hygiene instruction, scaling and polishing. During your dental hygiene treatment, we remove light staining and provide that ‘dentist clean’ feeling.
Air polishing is a procedure that uses air and fine powder in powerful, controlled bursts to clean and brighten teeth. In doing so, it polishes the surface of teeth, helping to reduce discolouration, eliminate plaque and remove other soft deposits. This is particularly beneficial if your teeth are susceptible to plaque build-ups or staining from smoking. Your hygienist can advise on whether this treatment would benefit you.
It is a pleasant experience that feels more like a spa visit! However, our team is happy to discuss any concerns you have.
Our dental hygienists play a key role in the prevention and treatment of gum disease. They provide specialist care, such as scaling and root planing, to remove harmful deposits below the gum line and support your long-term oral health.
