Dental Hygienist at Mouth
Before treatment, our friendly dental hygienist will assess your teeth and gums. We will take x-rays if necessary for better evaluation, especially if you have any particular concerns regarding your oral health. It helps us spot cavities, decay, unusual growths, or gum disease. If you are suffering from halitosis or bad breath, you can raise that with our hygienist.
They will also review your oral history to understand any dental treatments you have had, the frequency of your dental check-ups, and any dental conditions you may have. We use an ultrasonic scaler and other sensitive instruments for a classic scale and polish. After scaling, the hygienist will use a polishing instrument and a special dental paste to polish your teeth. This process helps to remove any surface stains and leaves your teeth feeling smooth and clean. For a more advanced and ultra-comfort cleaning, we use Airflow. It is also dental appliance-safe
We also provide root planing to treat gum disease and gum recession. When bacteria and plaque get removed from periodontal pockets and tooth roots, it shrinks pocket size and facilitates gum tissue reattachment.

Frequently asked questions
What are dental hygiene treatments?
Dental hygiene treatments are preventive and restorative oral care procedures usually carried out by a dental hygienist. These not only clean teeth but are also used in treating gum disease and bad breath. Treatments include scale and polish, root planing, and Airflow.
What to expect at a dental hygiene treatment?
During a dental hygiene appointment, your hygienist will inspect teeth and gums. They will then carry out your chosen method of cleaning. Scale and polish treatment utilises ultrasonic equipment and other minute instruments to remove plaque and stains. Root planing usually requires local anaesthetic as it cleans below the gum line. Airflow is a contactless cleaning method. It is safe for sensitive teeth, dental appliances, dental implants, braces, crowns, bridges and dentures.
How often should you visit a dental hygienist?
Dentists recommend visiting a dental hygienist at least every six months for regular check-ups and cleanings. However, the frequency may vary based on individual oral health conditions and dentist’s recommendations.
What is Airflow treatment?
AIRFLOW® is a non-contact cleaning system that projects a controlled stream of air, warm water and fine sodium bicarb onto teeth. It cleans hard-to-reach areas to remove biofilm, calculus, discolouration, and stains, penetrating deep into periodontal pockets where bacteria get deposited. Airflow is ideal for sensitive teeth. It is the gentlest and most effective teeth-cleaning method.
Are dental hygiene treatments painful or invasive?
Dental hygiene treatments are typically not painful or invasive, though you may experience some sensitivity or discomfort during scaling and polishing. Root planning that treats periodontal disease and gum recession is minimally invasive. However, the area gets numbed before treatment. Hygienist treatments are considered routine.
What are the areas treated during a hygiene appointment?
A dental hygiene appointment primarily focuses on cleaning teeth and gums. It also involves an oral health inspection. Fluoride treatments and dental sealants are sometimes incorporated as preventive dental care measures.
What are the materials used during a dental hygiene treatment?
Dental hygienists use various tools and materials, including dental scalers and curettes for scaling, polishing paste for cleaning and smoothing tooth surfaces, and an air-water syringe for rinsing and drying. The Airflow technique utilises compressed gets of controlled air, water, and flavoured sodium bicarbonate.
How do you maintain your dental health until the next appointment?
Follow a regular oral hygiene routine, including brushing twice daily for two minutes, flossing daily, and using mouthwash if recommended. Eating a balanced diet and avoiding sugary snacks and drinks also contribute to good oral health. Cutting down on sugar is also beneficial to your general health.
Can you receive dental hygiene treatments while undergoing other dental treatments?
Yes, you can receive dental hygiene treatments while undergoing other dental procedures. Dental hygienists work alongside dentists to ensure you receive comprehensive care.
