Why Visit a Dental Hygienist?
Routine dental hygiene appointments are vital for maintaining strong teeth and healthy gums.
Our hygienists help you:
- Prevent gum disease (the leading cause of tooth loss)
- Remove stubborn plaque and tartar deposits
- Freshen your breath and reduce mouth odour
- Brighten your natural smile by removing surface stains
- Detect early signs of dental or gum problems
Even the best brushing and flossing can’t reach every area.
Professional cleaning ensures your mouth stays truly healthy.
What Happens During a Dental Hygiene Appointment?
At your hygiene visit in our Edinburgh clinic, you’ll experience:
- Comprehensive Assessment. We check the health of your gums and teeth before starting treatment.
- Professional Scale and Polish. Using ultrasonic and manual instruments, we gently remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains.
- Tailored Oral Hygiene Advice. We show you personalized brushing and flossing techniques to maintain results at home.
- Gum Disease Screening. Early detection of gingivitis or periodontitis can save your teeth and prevent serious problems.
Gum Disease Prevention and Treatment
Gum disease is a silent enemy — often painless at first but devastating if left untreated.
- Bleeding gums when brushing
- Redness, swelling, or tenderness
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession (longer-looking teeth)
Our Edinburgh dental hygienists specialise in early gum disease treatment, helping you reverse gingivitis and prevent further progression.
With regular professional cleaning and advice, you can maintain strong, healthy gums for life.
Teeth Stain Removal for a Brighter Smile
Coffee, tea, red wine, smoking — everyday life can stain your teeth. Our hygienists offer professional stain removal during your scale and polish appointment, making your smile instantly cleaner and naturally whiter.
No harsh bleaching required — just a polished, healthy shine!
Aftercare Advice: Keeping Your Smile Healthy at Home
After your hygiene visit:
- Continue brushing twice daily using fluoride toothpaste
- Floss or use interdental brushes every day
- Avoid smoking and limit sugary foods and drinks
- Schedule regular hygienist visits every 6 months (or as advised)
Good daily habits support the professional care you receive at Frederick Street Dental Care.
How Often Should You See a Dental Hygienist?
For most people, visiting a hygienist every 6 months is ideal. If you have a history of gum disease, wear braces, smoke, or have certain medical conditions, you may benefit from more frequent appointments.
Our team will recommend a schedule that best supports your personal oral health.
