Why do I need a hygiene appointment?
Regular hygiene appointments can help to prevent a range of oral health problems, including gum disease, tooth decay, bad breath, and tooth loss.
They can also help to keep your smile looking its best and improve your overall health and wellbeing.
What can I expect at the appointment?
Our experienced hygienists are here to take excellent care of your oral health. You’ll be booked in for an appointment that typically lasts 30-40 minutes, during which we’ll carry out the necessary procedures to clean and polish your teeth, providing a refreshing and transformative dental experience.
In addition to removing plaque and tartar, our hygiene appointments may also include a professional teeth cleaning to help remove surface stains and brighten your smile. Our hygienists can also provide personalised advice and recommendations on how to improve your oral hygiene routine at home, such as brushing and flossing techniques, and the use of mouthwash.

This is our Routine Hygiene appointment, offering a thorough scale and polish and personalised home hygiene routine advice. Perfect for improving healthy gums. It’s the consistent treatment to help maintain fresh breath and a confident smile.
If you have not seen a dentist for a while, then this is the treatment for you, alternatively you may have a little problem area which requires some intensive treatment. Our Regular Hygiene appointment is combined with gum health treatment targeting problem areas.
Please be aware that all new patients who request Direct Access require an initial “extensive appointment” for your hygienist to establish your needs.
For those diagnosed with ACTIVE gum disease: 4 visits of intensive periodontal care (30-60 minutes each). This includes an initial detailed assessment of your gums, followed by intensive periodontal therapy with local anaesthesia (if required), working on different areas of your mouth each appointment. Plaque and tartar above and below the gum line is removed.
Appointments are usually within the space of just a few weeks (they can be condensed into fewer, but longer, sessions) and followed by a review 3 months later.
NB: Success of treatment is highly dependent on excellent home care. Re-treatment of unresponsive areas may be required and Maintenance care appointments are always recommended.
Cosmetic Cleaning
Our air polishing system gently removes all stain, leaving your teeth smooth and shiny. If you would simply like the stain removing from your teeth, you can book in for this gentle freshen up at any time. You do not even need to see your dentist first.
Smoking yellows teeth and the tar in cigarettes can leave deep stains. Our Smokers cosmetic treatment uses ultrasonic cleaning and air polishing to banish stains and freshen your smile.
The friendly hygienists at Peasholm Dental Practice can advise you on the best possible personalized care for your mouth.
What our patients say
Frequently Asked Questions
A dental hygienist removes plaque and tartar from your teeth, both above and below your gum line. This process is called scaling. After scaling, the hygienist will polish your teeth to remove surface stains and smooth the tooth surface.
The frequency of scaling and polishing appointments varies based on your oral health. On average, it’s recommended to visit the dental hygienist for scaling and polishing every six months. However, if you have gum disease or are at high risk of dental problems, you may need to visit more frequently.
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during scaling and polishing. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, your dental hygienist can use a local anaesthetic to numb the area.
Typically, a scaling and polishing appointment takes about 30-40 minutes, but this can vary based on the amount of tartar and plaque on your teeth.
After a scaling and polishing appointment, you should continue to maintain a good oral hygiene routine — brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using a mouthwash. If your gums are a little sensitive after the appointment, a warm saltwater rinse can help soothe them.
