50% reduction in the risk of gum disease with regular visits to a dental hygienist.
What is Direct Access Dental Hygiene?
Direct Access Dental Hygiene allows patients to see a dental hygienist for professional cleaning and oral health advice without a prior examination by a dentist. This means that we welcome patients who only want to see our dental hygienist without having to register with the dentist and have an examination beforehand.
This approach makes preventive care more accessible, helping to reduce the risk of gum disease and other oral health issues. If our oral hygienist feels that you could benefit from an examination by a dentist, they will let you know accordingly.
So if you are looking for a smooth and easy oral hygiene experience, complete our enquiry form, call us on 0208 106 8020 or email us at info@periocentre.co.uk to arrange an appointment today! A member of the team will be able to book in a session for a time that is convenient for you.
