Frequently asked questions

What does a dental hygienist appointment involve?

A dental hygienist appointment typically focuses on helping you take care of your teeth and gums, keeping them healthy and in great condition. During your visit, the hygienist assesses your gums, removes stubborn plaque and tartar from your mouth and gives your teeth a professional polish. They also give you tailored advice on your brushing techniques, diet and lifestyle.

How often should I see a dental hygienist?

Most patients should see a dental hygienist every six months in order to keep their teeth and gums healthy and prevent gum disease from occurring. If you have a history of gum disease, wear braces or are a smoker, your dentist may recommend you have a hygiene appointment every 3-4 months.

What is Airflow teeth cleaning and how does it differ from a scale and polish?

Scale and polish treatment uses ultrasonic tools to physically remove hard tartar and plaque from the surface of your teeth, followed by a polish using paste. Airflow is an innovative dental system which uses a controlled jet of warm water, bicarbonate powder and compressed air to give a powerful yet pain-free teeth clean. The Airflow device never comes into contact with your teeth or gums, and is very popular with patients.

Will a scale and polish hurt?

You may feel a scraping sensation, vibration and mild discomfort or pressure during your scale and polish treatment, but it shouldn’t be painful. We make sure you are feeling relaxed and comfortable before we begin, and will stop to give you a break if needed.
