What happens at a hygienist appointment

Our dentist Dr. Erika offer a professional teeth cleaning service known as scaling and polishing. During the appointment an initial dental hygiene examination will be carried out and all teeth surface cleaned in a gentle, yet thorough manner

​

​

• Scale your teeth to remove any plaque or tartar build-up in those areas brushing cannot reach

​

• Perform a clean and polish to remove any superficial stains on your teeth

​

• Offer tailored advice on how to maintain good dental health and demonstrate techniques you can use at home

Dr. Erika will also provide advice about diet and preventing tooth decay. She can spot signs of gum disease and will refer you to a periodontist if they see anything that needs further treatment.
