FAQs
How often should I see the hygienist?
Most patients benefit from hygiene visits every 6 months; if you have gum concerns, we may recommend more frequent care.
Does a scale and polish hurt?
Treatment is gentle. If your gums are sensitive, we can use topical anaesthetic and adjust techniques to keep you comfortable.
Will hygiene appointments whiten my teeth?
They remove surface stains and brighten your smile. For a whiter shade, consider professional teeth whitening.
