Dental Hygiene Weybridge
Our professional dental hygienists play a vital role in helping you maintain a healthy mouth and a confident smile. A hygienist appointment is not just about cleaning teeth — it’s about preventing future problems, spotting early signs of gum disease, and supporting your long-term oral health.
During your visit, our hygienist will carry out a thorough scale and polish to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that daily brushing can’t reach. They will also give you tailored advice on the best techniques and products for keeping your teeth and gums healthy at home.
In addition, we are pleased to offer MicroProphy treatment — a gentle air-polishing system that uses a fine powder and controlled jet of air and water to remove surface stains and plaque. It is especially effective for patients with sensitive teeth, implants, or braces, as it provides a thorough clean without the discomfort sometimes associated with traditional polishing. MicroProphy can also brighten your smile by lifting everyday stains caused by tea, coffee, red wine, and smoking.
Regular visits to the dental hygienist can:
- Prevent and manage gum disease
- Freshen your breath and improve oral comfort
- Remove stains for a brighter smile
- Protect overall health, as gum problems have been linked to conditions such as heart disease and diabetes
Seeing our hygienist regularly, alongside your routine dental check-ups, is one of the most effective ways to look after your oral health.
