Hygiene and prevention
Cleaning, check-ups and advice to prevent problems before they hurt.
What it is
A hygiene appointment removes the tartar and plaque that your toothbrush cannot. It is also the best time to spot decay and gum problems early, when they are simplest to treat. We agree how often you should come back according to your risk.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I have a cleaning?
For most people, once or twice a year. People with gum problems may need more.
Does cleaning damage the enamel?
No. It only removes tartar and plaque. You may feel some sensitivity that day, which passes quickly.
