What is a Routine Dental Hygiene Appointment?

Regular dental hygiene appointments are about so much more than just a cleaner smile. These professional cleanings are a vital part of maintaining your oral health and preventing dental issues before they start.

Purpose

Even with good brushing and flossing habits at home, plaque and tartar can build up in areas that are hard to reach. Over time, this buildup can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and even bad breath.

A hygiene visit helps to:

  • Prevent gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis)
  • Reduce the risk of cavities and tooth loss
  • Maintain fresh breath and a clean feeling
  • Support your overall health—research links gum health to heart health and beyond!

Procedure

Your comfort is our priority. Our friendly dental hygienist team makes the process gentle, thorough, and stress-free.

Here’s what typically happens during a hygiene appointment:

We begin by checking the health of your gums and teeth. We may measure your gum pockets and assess for signs of gum disease or other issues.

Using specialised tools, we carefully remove plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) from around the teeth and below the gum line. This step helps prevent inflammation and gum disease.

After scaling, your teeth are polished to remove surface stains and leave them feeling smooth and fresh.

For added protection, we may apply fluoride to strengthen enamel and help prevent cavities—especially beneficial for those prone to decay.

We’ll give you personalised tips on brushing, flossing, and caring for your teeth and gums at home to maintain the results of your clean.
