Hygienist Clean

Dental hygiene focuses on helping you maintain healthy teeth and gums for life. A dental hygienist is highly trained and qualified in oral healthcare. They use a variety of methods and techniques to remove tartar and plaque from your teeth, reducing the risk of gum disease and dental decay. Dental hygienists also offer personalised tips and advice on the best way to brush your teeth and keep your oral health in the best condition at home.

We recommend that most people have a hygienist appointment every six months to keep their teeth and gums in the best health. However, this is based on individual oral health needs, and some patients may benefit from more frequent appointments. We will let you know when to book your next appointment based on your needs.

If you are looking for a hygienist in the Marylebone or Baker Street area of London, look no further than the Ivory Dental Studio! Our hygienists are all fully qualified, highly experienced and very friendly, providing reassuring and non-judgemental care.

During a dental hygienist appointment, expect a review of your medical history followed by a thorough examination of your gums and teeth to check for plaque and tartar. Your hygienist will then perform scaling and polishing to remove these deposits and surface stains. They may also offer a fluoride treatment to strengthen your teeth and will provide personalised advice on brushing and flossing, giving you a chance to discuss any concerns you might have.

Regular dental hygiene is vital for maintaining a healthy mouth and overall well-being. It plays a crucial role in preventing gum disease and tooth decay, which can lead to pain, tooth loss, and the need for more extensive and costly dental treatments. Hygienists can detect early signs of oral health issues, including oral cancer, and arrange effective treatment.
