Dental Hygiene

York House Dental Practice is passionate about helping you keep your natural teeth as healthy as possible, for as long as possible. York House Dental Practice hygienists have a particular focus on preventing and treating gum disease. In addition, they have a wealth of expertise to help train you to help take care of your teeth and gums really well yourself.

We have a strong ethos of prevention, and we believe this starts with healthy gums. Our dentists and hygienists work closely together to ensure that our patient’s teeth are stable and this starts with strong foundations – healthy gums.

Although tooth decay is something that is important to prevent, the gums can sometimes be overlooked when it comes to care and protection. That is where our exceptional dental hygienist service come in.

For professional teeth cleaning, gum disease treatment and personal oral hygiene advice, York House Dental Practice are here to help you.

Professional Cleaning

If you are looking to get cleaner, brighter teeth we can also help you with this. Often the first stage in aesthetic treatment is to book yourself in for stain removal and Air Flow polishing with one of our hygienists.
