Regular hygiene appointments are one of the simplest ways to keep your teeth and gums healthy, helping to remove the build-up that brushing and flossing alone can’t always reach.
What is a dental hygiene appointment?
A hygiene appointment is all about prevention. Your hygienist will carefully remove plaque and hardened tartar from around your teeth and gums before polishing your teeth to leave them feeling clean and fresh. We’ll also check the health of your gums and offer practical advice on brushing, flossing and looking after your smile at home. The aim isn’t to judge your routine. It’s to help you get the best from it.
Load moreWhether you’re looking to maintain a healthy smile, have noticed bleeding gums, or simply want your teeth to feel cleaner, regular hygiene appointments are an important part of long-term dental care. If we spot anything that needs further attention, we’ll explain what we’ve found and talk you through the next steps.
Regular hygiene appointments can help:
Hygiene appointments don’t have to feel rushed. We’ll take the time to explain what we’re seeing, answer your questions and help you understand how small changes at home can make a real difference. Whether you’re visiting us every six months or it’s been a little while since your last hygiene appointment, you’ll be welcomed without judgement. Our job isn’t to tell you off. It’s to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy for as long as possible.

I joined one of the care plans in Drayton House about 4 years ago and have kept it. After my visits and nice experiences, I recommended it to my friends. All of the staff there are extremely friendly. The environment and internal settings are very clean and modern. Dr Shah is professional, patient, thorough and caring. The referrals he made for us were timely and proper. The treatments he did for us were very satisfying.

Excellent dental practice. Dr Ria has been fantastic always, especially in arranging my son’s referral for treatment, and a special thank you to Julia on reception who went above and beyond to make the referral process happen quickly and smoothly. She was incredibly supportive, compassionate, and reassuring throughout, keeping me informed and making what could have been a stressful situation much easier. AMAZING TEAM. We are very grateful for their professionalism and kindness. Highly recommended.

Most hygiene appointments are very comfortable. If your gums are particularly sensitive or it’s been a while since your last visit, you may notice some mild discomfort, but we’ll always work as gently as possible and can adapt treatment if needed.
That depends on your oral health. Many patients benefit from appointments every six months, while others may need to visit more regularly. We’ll recommend an interval that’s right for you.
A hygiene appointment won’t change the natural colour of your teeth, but it can remove surface stains caused by everyday food and drink, helping your smile look brighter and fresher.
Yes. Even with excellent brushing and flossing, plaque can harden into tartar, which can’t be removed at home. Regular hygiene appointments help keep your teeth and gums in the best possible condition.
