Dental hygiene appointments in Penge
A dental hygienist cleaning offers the best way to achieve a “dentist-clean” feeling. This simple yet effective treatment helps to remove deposits such as plaque and bacteria from the surface of your teeth, between the teeth and in hard to reach areas such as along the gum line. Effective cleaning is essential for preventing conditions such as tooth decay and gum disease. It is recommended that patients should attend 1-2 dental hygienist cleanings per year, and they can be particularly effective for certain individuals, including smokers and dental implant patients.
If you’re unfamiliar with the process, our dental hygiene team will be here to put you at ease throughout your appointment. Choose from a classic scale and polish, or opt for the touch-free Airflow polishing, which uses a concentrated stream of water, air and fine particles to gently buff the surface of your teeth. Both treatments are highly effective for routine cleanings, or for preparing for cosmetic treatments such as dental implants or teeth whitening.
The importance of professional cleaning
Most people know about the importance of regular dental checkups, but not everyone is aware of the extra steps you can take to safeguard your oral health. A dental hygiene appointment provides extra coverage. This means that you’ll have more contact time with a dental professional, and they will have more opportunity to spot small issues before they become much larger issues. This kind of treatment is also ideal for those who might be working hard to overcome a fear of the dentist.
A dental hygienist appointment gets you back in the chair without worrying about more extensive treatment. It can be hugely beneficial for nervous patients who might have been neglecting their oral health for a long time to be able to prioritise their dental health in this way.

What to expect during your appointment
Your dental hygiene appointment starts with an assessment of your oral health and identifying areas that may need attention. Your dental hygienist will perform a full scale and polish treatment, either with traditional tools, or with the modern Airflow polishing system. This should be a pain-free treatment, but you may feel a slight increase in sensitivity following the treatment. Your dental hygienist may offer a fluoride treatment to help remineralise your enamel and protect your teeth.
It’s also an ideal opportunity to ask questions about your oral health and your brushing technique. If there are any issues with how you brush your teeth, this will be very obvious to your dental hygienist. They are also a wealth of knowledge on other treatments such as teeth whitening and cosmetic treatment, so if you have any questions about these, it’s an ideal opportunity to ask.
