The care we offer
Scaling
Scaling removes the tartar built up above and below the gum line. Even with excellent brushing, some areas remain hard to reach and encourage its formation.
Tooth polishing
After scaling, polishing removes surface stains (coffee, tea, tobacco, red wine). Teeth regain a smoother surface, which slows plaque build-up.
Personalised hygiene advice
Every mouth is different. The hygienist tailors advice to your age, habits, any orthodontic treatment, implants or prostheses, and your general health.
Prevention of gum disease
Bleeding gums are never normal. Early care often prevents progression to periodontitis, which can lead to loosening teeth.
