Sneh and Sylvia are amazing. I am exceptionally nervous at dentists and have needed quite a bit of work - I have been to many practices over the years and this is the first time I have had a filling conscious.Sylvia is so dedicated and the most lovely person, ready with what both I and the dentist needs next, making the process easier and smooth / efficient.Sneh is understanding and quick yet giving me the breathing time required in between. Whilst I know my fear is irrational they do not downgrade it at all. Whilst I still hate the dentist visits - I am no longer an emotional wreck losing weeks of sleep in anticipation.

Wonderful dentist, staff are always friendly, welcoming & accommodating. My husband was running late for his appointment & they kindly shifted it a little. I’ve been here for orthodontics and regular hygienist appointments. I’d highly recommend this practice

What treatments do dental hygienists give?

Dental hygienists provide a range of preventive and therapeutic dental and oral health treatments. As well as deep dental cleans, they may also carry out oral cancer screenings, sealant application and X-rays. They also provide personalised advice on oral and dental hygiene to match the patient’s particular needs, as well as advice on oral hygiene practices and recommendations on brushing techniques, flossing and other cleaning methods.

Service list

  • Dental Cleanings: Scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar, which helps prevent gum disease and cavities.
  • Airflow EMS therapy: A hygiene treatment that removes persistent stains on your teeth, plaque and discolouration using a combination of water, compressed air and fine powder particles.
  • Gum disease treatment: Providing treatment and advice for gum problems, including gingivitis and periodontitis.
  • Fluoride treatments: Applying fluoride to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay.
  • Dental sealants: Applying dental sealants to protect the chewing surfaces of molars from decay.
  • Screening for Oral Cancer: Conducting examinations to identify potential signs of oral cancer and referring patients for further evaluation if necessary.


Do dental hygienists work with dentists?

Your dentist and dental hygienist work in collaboration as part of the dental healthcare team. While your hygienists can perform a number of dental and oral procedures independently, they work closely with dentists to provide comprehensive dental care to patients. Dental hygienists specialise in preventive care, helping to reduce the need for further dental treatment.

How often should you see a dental hygienist?

For most people, a visit to the dental hygienist to help ensure fresh breath from routine cleaning once every six months is advised. Some people with more specific or complex oral and dental care needs may require more frequent visits for a hygienist deep clean and other treatments.

When you visit the dentist for the first time as a new patient they will draw up a treatment plan that advises on the recommended frequency of hygienist visits.
