to your healthy smile

Examination

Your hygiene appointment begins with a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. Our expert dental hygiene therapists look for signs of decay, gum disease, and other issues, and explain the treatment needed to improve or maintain your healthy mouth. We also ask a little about your oral hygiene routines and general health.

Treatment

The main part of your dental hygiene appointment is a professional teeth clean. We ‘scale and polish’ your teeth, removing stubborn plaque and tartar deposits from even the hard-to-reach areas. We can also use innovative Airflow treatment, a completely pain-free and non-invasive system that uses a jet of water, air and bicarbonate to remove stains and give an extreme clean.

Advice

At the end of your appointment, your teeth will look and feel brighter, smoother and fresher. We give you some personalised tips and advice for your oral hygiene routine at home, including demonstrating the best way to brush your teeth. We also suggest when would be best for your next appointment.

What is dental hygiene treatment?

Dental hygiene treatment is key to ensuring the long-term health of your teeth and gums, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. At Diamond Dental Care, our hygienists are highly trained and experienced in looking after your oral health, cleaning away stubborn plaque and tartar deposits to protect your smile from harmful bacteria.

Hygiene treatments build on your oral care routine at home, with comprehensive assessments and bespoke treatment plans to ensure excellent results that work for you. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, and is a common condition with mild symptoms, so it is over overlooked. During your hygiene appointment, we regularly check your gum health to ensure any issues are caught and treated before they can worsen.

Frequently asked questions

header image
What services does a dental hygienist provide?

Our dental hygienist provides a variety of services to help you look after your oral health. These range from personalised advice and demonstrations to support your at-home care to ‘scale and polish’ treatments to remove plaque, freshen your breath and enhance your dental health. Our dental hygienist also offers advanced Airflow treatment for a completely pain-free clean, using a targeted jet of air, water and bicarbonate particles to blast stains and reach even awkward areas.

How often should I see a dental hygienist?

Most people should see a dental hygienist once or twice per year, depending on the standard of their oral health and lifestyle factors. It is common to book a hygiene appointment at the same time as your routine dental check-up. We offer regular appointments to patients on our membership plan, helping protect your oral health with ease.

Do I need a referral from my dentist to see a dental hygienist?

No, you don’t need a referral from your dentist in order to see a dental hygienist. We offer direct access hygiene appointments, so you can book in to see the hygienist whenever you want to. If you feel like your oral health could use a little TLC, please contact us to book your next appointment!

What is the cost of a dental hygiene appointment?

A dental hygiene appointment at Diamond Dental Care in Clydebank costs from £56. Hygiene appointments are included in our membership plan, so you can access regular hygiene care and spread the cost over the year. Please get in touch if you would like to sign up to our membership plan.

Can a dental hygienist help with teeth whitening?

The purpose of dental hygiene treatment isn’t to whiten your teeth, but you may find that they appear brighter and whiter once the stubborn plaque deposits have been removed. Airflow treatment can also reduce staining. If you are interested in whitening your teeth, we offer professional whitening treatment that can give incredible results.

What are the stages of gum disease?

The first stage of gum disease is known as gingivitis. This causes red and swollen gums that bleed when they are brushed. Gingivitis is a milder stage of gum disease that can be reversed with careful treatment and care. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, which is a more severe stage. It can affect the supporting soft tissues and bone around the teeth, causing them to become loose and even fall out. Periodontitis cannot be reversed, but can be managed with appropriate treatment.

What is Airflow treatment?

Airflow is an innovative hygiene treatment that uses a controlled jet of water, air and bicarbonate particles to give teeth a superior clean. It is a completely pain-free and non-invasive treatment, and can be used even on dental restorations or teeth with braces fitted. Airflow can remove surface stains and even reach the awkward places that can be missed with at-home care or scaling treatment.
