What to expect when you visit your Hygienist

When you visit us, it’s likely that we will give you a scale and polish. This is a professional dental clean which helps to remove tartar from around the gum line. It’s a quick and completely pain free procedure, but it is vital in preventing gingivitis (gum sensitivity) and gum disease, which if left untreated could lead to tooth loss. We recommend that patients have a scale and polish every three months to ensure that teeth remain clean, healthy and tartar-free.
