Dental
hygiene

Maintaining good dental hygiene is crucial for overall oral health. It helps prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath, and can also improve your overall health. At our practice, our therapists are dedicated to improving patient hygiene through a variety of services, ensuring you have a healthy and bright smile.
 

We provide a range of dental hygiene services, including AIR-FLOW, scale and polish, periodontal treatment, and PerioChips. These are available privately unless included in your NHS treatment.
 

What is AIR-FLOW?
 

AIR-FLOW® is a brightening technique that gently cleans and polishes teeth using a combination of water, compressed air, and fine powder particles. It effectively removes plaque, stains, and discoloration, leaving your teeth looking their best.

​

What is a Scale & Polish?
 

A scale and polish involves using handheld instruments and an ultrasonic scraper to remove plaque and tartar deposits. This is followed by polishing to remove minor stains and leave teeth shiny and smooth.

What Is Periodontal Treatment?
 

What is Periodontal treatment?

​

Periodontal treatment involves specialized cleaning to control bacteria that cause gum disease. This may require multiple appointments and includes scaling above and below the gum line. In some cases, local anaesthetic and antibiotics may be used to ensure thorough treatment and comfort.
 

What is a PerioChip?
 

PerioChip® is a biodegradable chip containing 2.5 mg of Chlorhexidine Gluconate, used to treat active gum disease in pockets deeper than 5mm. It helps reduce bacteria and promote healing in the affected areas.
