To Stop Bleeding Gums
Bleeding gums or seeing blood when you spit after brushing is a sign of gum inflammation. This can be an early sign of gum disease. If caught early by your hygienist, it is usually reversible.
To Have A Whiter Smile
External stains that build on your teeth cannot be removed by brushing alone. These stains are often the result of tea, coffee, tobacco, red wine or other dietary factors. Your hygienist has many ways of removing these stains to restore your teeth to their natural whiteness.

We do more than just clean your teeth. We also offer advice on how you can best achieve and maintain good oral health for a lifetime, diet advice & oral cancer screening.
To Detect Oral Cancer
When you have a dental hygiene appointment, your hygienist is also screening for oral cancer. Oral cancer is highly curable if detected early. Your hygienist will give you advice on risk factors for oral cancer and how to reduce them.
To Prevent Gum Disease (Tooth Loss)
Gum disease (periodontitis) causes bleeding gums, painful gums, bad breath and loose teeth. Gum disease can be treated, stopped and even reversed if caught in its early stages. Your hygienist will not only treat, but will help you prevent it returning with a better oral hygiene regime.
To Prevent Other Disease
Poor dental hygiene has been linked to the development of several diseases including: heart disease, diabetes and respiratory problems.
To Prevent Bad Breath
Bad breath or halitosis is usually caused by a dental problem. Fear of halitosis is a very common reason for people seeking dental care. The odour can be released by bacteria from under the gum line, where only a dental hygienist can clean.
To Gain Confidence
If your mouth feels clean, it makes you feel good. The feeling of fresher breath makes us more comfortable talking with people. Knowing that healthy gums can improve your general health can also make you feel good about yourself.
