Our dental hygienists are specially trained professionals who work closely with the dentist to support your overall dental health. Their main focus is on gum health, and they provide professional cleaning treatments, known as scale and polish, to remove plaque and tartar buildup. They’ll also guide you on the best ways to maintain healthy teeth and gums at home, helping to prevent future dental issues like decay and gum disease.
During the scale and polish, hygienists can also remove surface stains caused by habits like smoking or drinking tea, coffee, and red wine.
At each visit, our hygienist in Edinburgh New Town will assess the condition of your teeth and gums, giving you a score to track your progress over time. This allows us to monitor your oral health, helping you see improvements and ensuring you stay on the right track for a healthy smile.
