What Does A Dental Hygienist Do?
A dental hygienist specialises in preventive oral care, cleaning teeth to remove plaque, tartar and brown stains while educating patients on proper oral hygiene techniques. They also conduct screenings for gum disease, take dental X-rays and assist in developing treatment plans alongside dentists. Their role is essential in promoting long term oral health and preventing dental issues before they become serious.

What Happens At A Hygienist Appointment?
Step 1: Assessment And Advice
Your dental hygienist will examine your teeth and gums, checking for signs of plaque build-up, gum disease or other oral health concerns. They will also provide personalised advice on improving your daily oral hygiene routine.
Step 2: Dental Hygienist Scale And Polish
A thorough cleaning, known as a scale and polish, removes plaque, tartar and surface stains from your teeth. This helps prevent cavities, gum disease and bad breath, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
Step 3: Aftercare And Prevention
Your hygienist will apply fluoride or other protective treatments if needed and give you tips on maintaining good oral hygiene at home. They may also recommend follow-up visits based on your oral health needs.
How Does A Dental Hygienist Remove Plaque?
A dental hygienist removes plaque by using specialised tools like a scaler to gently scrape away build-up from your teeth and gums. They then polish the teeth to smooth the surface, preventing further plaque accumulation.
The Perio Centre use the Airflow EMS machine and are GBT registered. This means that we use the most advanced dental hygiene machine worldwide, made by EMS in Switzerland. So if you want your teeth to feel brighter, book an oral hygiene appointment today!
Dental Hygienist Testimonials
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is A Dental Hygienist?
A dental hygienist is a licensed healthcare professional specialising in the prevention and treatment of oral health issues. They clean teeth, check for gum disease and educate patients on proper oral care.
How Long Is A Hygienist Appointment?
A typical hygienist appointment lasts between 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the complexity of the cleaning. Routine visits are usually shorter, while more in-depth treatments may take longer.
How Much Is A Hygienist Appointment?
The cost of a hygienist appointment at The Perio Centre is £250. We provide advanced hygiene services in a modern setting with state-of-the-art equipment.
Does The Hygienist Hurt?
Hygienist treatments are generally very comfortable. Patients with heavy plaque build-up may have mild discomfort, however our experienced hygienist can adjust pressure to ensure your comfort throughout the appointment.
What Is The Difference Between A Dental Hygienist And A Dentist?
While both are dental professionals, a dentist diagnoses and treats dental issues, while a hygienist focuses on preventative care, including cleanings and oral health support. Dentists can perform surgeries and complex treatments, while hygienists focus on routine maintenance.
How Often Should You See A Dental Hygienist?
It is recommended to visit a dental hygienist every 6 to 12 months for routine cleanings and maintenance. However, individuals with gum disease or specific oral health concerns may require more frequent visits.
Do You Offer Same Day Appointments?
Yes, it may be possible to get a same day appointment, ensuring you get the professional care you need without the long wait. Get in touch today and we will arrange a convenient time for your visit!
How Long After The Hygienist Can You Eat?
You can typically eat immediately after a hygienist appointment. It is best to wait for 30 minutes to 1 hour if fluoride treatment was applied. This ensures the treatment has time to set and offers optimal protection for your teeth.
Is It Normal To Get Tooth Sensitivity After The Hygienist?
Some mild tooth sensitivity is possible after a hygienist appointment, especially if you have heavy plaque build-up. This usually resolves within a few hours, but if discomfort persists, consult your hygienist for advice.
Will My Appointment Be Covered By Insurance?
Coverage for hygienist appointments depends on your insurance plan. We recommend checking with your provider to confirm whether the cost of the appointment is included under your dental benefits.
