Why Regular Hygiene Visits Matter
Even with excellent brushing and flossing at home, it is not always possible to remove all the hardened plaque (tartar) that builds up over time, especially around the gumline and between teeth.
Left untreated, this can lead to:
- Bleeding or inflamed gums
- Bad breath (halitosis)
- Gum recession and tooth sensitivity
- Bone loss and tooth mobility
- Tooth loss
Regular hygiene appointments are one of the most effective ways to prevent gum disease and keep your mouth fresh, clean, and healthy.
What We Offer
- Essential Hygiene Sessions
Ideal for maintaining healthy teeth and gums, our Essential Hygiene appointments include:- Thorough scale and polish to remove plaque and tartar
- Gum health checks and early detection of any issues
- Gentle stain removal to freshen your smile
- Personalised oral hygiene coaching - brushing, flossing, interdental cleaning
- Nutritional and lifestyle advice to support oral and overall health
These sessions are about more than just cleaning, they are an opportunity to ask questions, receive tailored advice and feel confident in your daily routine.
- Management of Gum Disease (Periodontal Therapy)
Gum disease is one of the most common health conditions in the UK, but it often progresses silently.
We offer dedicated support for all stages of gum disease:- Gingivitis - the early stage, which is reversible with good care
- Periodontitis - a more advanced condition affecting the bone and tissues that support your teeth
Our hygienists will work with you to:
- Understand what’s causing the issue and how to manage it
- Carry out deep cleaning to remove harmful bacteria
- Use targeted tools and techniques for long-term maintenance
- Recommend home care strategies and products to support healing
- Liaise with our in-house Specialist Periodontist, if needed for advanced care
Education and empowerment are at the heart of what we do, we will make sure you leave with the knowledge and tools to take back control of your gum health.
- Airflow Stain Removal
Experience a fresher, brighter clean- without discomfort.
Airflow is a gentle and effective method of removing surface stains and biofilm using a combination of warm water, air, and a fine cleaning powder. It's ideal for:- Lifting stubborn stains from tea, coffee, red wine, or smoking
- Cleaning around braces, implants, or crowns
- Reducing tooth sensitivity
- Pre-whitening treatment or a cosmetic boost before an event
Airflow reaches places traditional polishers cannot, leaving your teeth clean, your breath fresh, and your smile brighter.
Not a Patient at Sunninghill Clinic? You Can Still See Our Hygienists
If you are not currently under the care of one of our dentists for regular dental health checks, you can still benefit from professional hygiene care through direct access.
This allows you to book directly with one of our hygienists for a clean and oral health support, without needing a prior check-up with a dentist.
However, please note:
Direct Access is not a substitute for full dental check-ups.
Our hygienists do not perform dental examinations or diagnose decay. If any issues are identified during your appointment, we will always recommend that you see a dentist, either at our clinic or with your own provider.
This option is perfect for:
- Individuals in between dental check-ups or dental practices
- Those seeking a professional clean or Airflow before an occasion
- People wanting support for bleeding gums or bad breath
- Anyone who values preventative care and wants to stay proactive
We are proud to offer safe, high-quality hygiene care to both existing and new patients in our community.
