What to expect during a dental hygienist session

We provide hygienist appointments at our dental practice in London to clean teeth and gums thoroughly. We will also give valuable advice on maintaining a daily routine for your improved dental hygiene. All dental hygiene appointments provide these services:

Dental Examination

We detect the buildup of calculus, plaque and bleeding to find out whether there is any kind of inflammation.

Scaling & Polishing

We use modern tools, including the latest air polishing technology, to get rid of plaque and calculus. This procedure uses a powerful stream of sodium bicarbonate, water and air directed at the teeth to get rid of debris and polish tooth surface.

Dental Hygiene Advice

You may keep visible areas of your mouth clean with routine dental hygiene visits. This can prevent long-term problems caused due to inadequate oral care.

Our dental hygienist provides halitosis treatment at our clinic, which can cause bad oral hygiene.

Comprehensive Teeth Cleaning Procedures

Our comprehensive teeth cleaning involve three steps to ensure thorough mouth cleaning and oral health. Here is a step-by-step procedure with airflow, scaling, and polishing:

Step 1

Initial Examination

Our skilled dental hygienist begins with full mouth examination to check overall health of your teeth and gums. This will identify specific areas which need special attention during the cleaning process.
Step 2

Get rid of Plaque and Tartar

A) Scaling:

This method will eliminate tartar and plaque from the teeth surface. With special instruments called scalers, the hygienist gently scrapes away deposits by focusing particularly on the areas between your teeth and around the gum line where plaque will accumulate.

B) Airflow:

This process has the combination of fine powder, air and water to eliminate plaque, soft deposits and stain marks from the teeth. It is effective in reaching those difficult areas and is less abrasive when compared to the traditional scaling.

C) Polishing:

After scaling, your teeth will be polished. The hygienist takes a brush and a toothpaste-like substance to eliminate surface stains and make tooth surface smooth. This makes it difficult for the plaque to adhere.

D) Flossing:

The hygienist will be flossing your teeth to remove plaque and particles that have been dislodged at the time of cleaning. This can clean the areas between your teeth which are difficult to reach with a toothbrush.

E) Rinsing:

After scaling and polishing, you will have to rinse mouth to get rid of debris from the cleaning process.
Step 3

Proper Advice and Final Inspection

The hygienist conducts a thorough check and provides personalized advice on oral hygiene practices based on the findings at the time of cleaning.

Hold the floss tightly between your thumbs and index fingers, gently inserting it between your teeth.
Curve the floss around each tooth in a C shape and slide it up and down along the tooth surface.
Use a clean section of floss for each tooth and repeat until all teeth are clean.
