At New Ash Green Dental & Aesthetics, our dental hygiene treatment focuses on thorough cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and stains. This essential care helps prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath, leaving you with a healthier, brighter smile.

Best Dental Hygiene Kent

Our skilled dentists or dental hygienists may perform dental hygiene treatments which are tailored to your needs.

The procedure varies based on individual oral health, ensuring the best approach to maintain a healthy, radiant smile.

During a dental hygiene treatment specialised tools are used to remove plaque and tartar, focusing on hard-to-reach areas often missed by regular brushing. The treatment includes scaling to eliminate deposits along the gumline and a polishing process that smooths teeth surfaces for a bright, clean finish. This comprehensive approach helps maintain oral health, prevent gum disease, and enhance overall smile confidence.

Our expert hygienists may also use cutting-edge Airflow technology – a quick, pain-free solution for removing stubborn stains and achieving lasting oral freshness. This safe, highly effective treatment gently polishes your teeth, leaving you with a brighter, fresher smile that truly stands out.

While the immediate effects are visible, the benefits of a dental hygiene treatment typically last several months with good home care. However, because plaque naturally rebuilds, we may recommend a routine hygiene appointment every six months to sustain long-term oral health. Patients with specific concerns, such as gum sensitivity or higher plaque buildup, may benefit from more frequent treatments, as advised by your dental professional.

FAQs

What does a dental hygiene treatment involve?

A dental hygiene treatment typically includes several steps for comprehensive care. First, a dentist or hygienist will assess your teeth and gums, noting any buildup of plaque or tartar. They’ll then perform scaling to remove these deposits, focusing on areas difficult to reach with regular brushing. This is followed by polishing, which smooths and brightens your teeth’s surfaces, reducing surface stains. For patients with more advanced gum disease or periodontitis, our skilled hygienists provide targeted treatments like deep cleaning and root planing to restore gum health and prevent further damage. With personalised care and the latest techniques, we help safeguard your teeth and gums for a healthier, more confident smile. Each part of this process is designed to enhance oral health and leave you with a fresh, clean smile.

Is a dental hygiene treatment painful?

For most patients, dental hygiene treatments are comfortable and involve minimal discomfort. During scaling, you may feel slight pressure as plaque and tartar are removed, especially around the gumline. However, our dental practitioners use gentle techniques and can provide additional comfort options if you have sensitive gums or teeth. Communicating any concerns beforehand helps ensure a comfortable experience. If anxiety is a concern, ask about options to make the visit as relaxing as possible, so your treatment feels smooth and stress-free.

Will my teeth be whiter after a hygiene treatment?

A dental hygiene treatment often results in a brighter smile. While it’s not the same as a whitening treatment, scaling and polishing remove surface stains and buildup, which enhances the natural colour of your teeth. Patients usually notice a cleaner, healthier appearance after treatment, thanks to the removal of plaque and tartar. If you’re looking for a more dramatic whitening effect, ask our team about additional whitening options that can be combined with regular hygiene treatments to achieve your ideal shade.
