A hygiene clean is a professional treatment performed by a dental hygienist or dentist to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that regular brushing can’t reach.
During your visit, we assess your gum health, gently clean your teeth, polish away stains, and provide personalised advice to support your home care routine. Hygiene appointments play a vital role in preventing gum disease and maintaining fresh breath and a bright smile.
While some temporary sensitivity is normal, the benefits far outweigh any discomfort. After your clean, continue brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and rinsing after meals to maintain results.
Cleans areas brushing and flossing miss
Reduces inflammation in the gums
Minimises bleeding and gum sensitivity
Slows the progression of gum disease
Maintains a brighter, healthier smile
Professional cleaning works because hardened tartar cannot be removed at home, and regular removal protects both your teeth and gums from long-term damage.
