You will usually visit the hygienist to have a scale and polish where the teeth and gums will be thoroughly cleaned and any infection present will be cleared.
Regular scale and polish treatment conducted by your hygienist reduces the build up of plaque, reducing the risk of tooth decay... as well as leaving your mouth squeaky clean.
You can also ask your hygienist for any help or advice regarding your oral health and what you could be doing at home to improve it further.
Our hygienists are experts in advice and treatment to help prevent tooth decay and treatment of periodontal disease (gum disease).
