As part of your regular oral care routine, visiting the hygienist to have your teeth professionally cleaned has a multitude of benefits. They can remove tartar and staining, and help you maintain a healthy mouth. Regular visits helps reduce the risk of periodontal disease which can lead to bleeding gums, bad breath, loose teeth and premature loss of teeth.

We encourage all adults to see the hygienist at intervals, according to need. We would also recommend older children and adolescents to be seen, to ensure the development of good oral hygiene habits, which will take them through life.
