What Happens During a Dental Hygienist Appointment?
A dental hygienist appointment is a professional cleaning and preventive care visit designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Y
our hygienist will begin by assessing your oral health, checking for signs of plaque build-up, gum inflammation, bleeding, or other concerns. They will then provide a thorough clean to remove plaque, tartar (calculus), and surface stains that cannot be removed with regular brushing alone.
Your appointment will also include personalised advice on how to improve your daily oral hygiene routine.
Your hygienist may recommend brushing techniques, interdental cleaning methods, and lifestyle tips to help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and future dental problems.
