How often should I see a hygienist?

Tartar does not come off with a harder brush at home. The hygienist removes what you cannot, shows you the spots you miss, and checks the gums. Airflow stain removal can be added from £35.

Bleeding gums are not “just brushing too hard”. If pockets are deep, you may need periodontal treatment rather than a standard scale. We will not pretend a 30-minute polish treats periodontitis.
