Hygienist services

Our philosophy is prevention - dental care for you and your family, which will enable you to keep your teeth and gums free from disease, limiting the amount of repair work needed.

Regular visits to the hygienist will help to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.

Using the latest equipment including air-polishing machines, which gently remove unsightly staining without damaging your teeth, our two dental hygienists are specially trained to recognise and treat gum disease and tooth decay.

The work of a dental hygienist is controlled by the Dentist Act 1984, and the Dental Auxiliaries Regulations 1986, as amended in 1991 and 2002. The regulations set out the work, which dental hygienists may carry out under the direction of a registered dentist who has examined the patient in the last 18 months and issued a written prescription.
