Yes, consistent oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, and regular professional cleanings, significantly reduces the risk of cavities, gum inflammation, and other oral diseases, ensuring a healthier smile and preventing costly dental issues.
No. Our direct access policy allows you to book hygiene appointments even if you’re not registered as a patient or haven’t seen one of our dentists.
Whilst brushing and flossing remove daily plaque, professional dental cleanings target hardened tartar and stains that cannot be eliminated at home. Hygienists also assess gum health and provide preventive treatments for long-term oral care.
Effective home dental care includes a soft-bristled toothbrush, fluoride toothpaste, dental floss or interdental brushes, and an antimicrobial mouthwash. Electric toothbrushes can improve plaque removal, and using these tools consistently helps maintain healthy teeth and gums between professional cleanings.
