What are the benefits of healthy gums?
Good oral hygiene is essential for maintaining healthy gums and preventing gum disease, tooth loss, and bad breath. Regular hygienist visits remove plaque and tartar build-up while supporting long-term oral health. Importantly, gum health is closely linked to overall well being, with growing evidence connecting periodontal disease to systemic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease including diabetes, and even Alzheimer’s disease. By keeping your gums healthy and inflammation under control, you are supporting not just your smile, but your general health too.

Frequently asked questions in Bloomsbury, WC1H
How often should you visit a dental hygienist?
You should generally see a dental hygienist every six months, although this can vary depending on your oral health, hygiene routine and risk of gum disease.
What does a dental hygienist do?
A dental hygienist removes plaque and tartar to reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease. They also provide preventive treatments and advice to help maintain your oral health.
Can dental hygienists whiten teeth in the UK?
Teeth whitening can be carried out by a dentist or by a registered dental hygienist or therapist if it has been prescribed by a dentist.
Are dental hygienist visits worth it?
Regular hygiene appointments are essential for maintaining healthy gums and teeth. They help remove tartar and allow your daily oral hygiene routine to be more effective. Research shows that if your gums are healthier, you are likely to have less inflammation in your body.
What happens during a scale and polish treatment?
Your hygienist will assess your oral health, remove plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas, and polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave them feeling smooth. For more serious staining, please ask about our air flow treatment (Ultra Cleanse).
Do dental hygienist treatments hurt?
Hygienist treatments are generally comfortable. Some patients may experience mild sensitivity, but this is usually temporary.
