Book appointmentA hygiene appointment at Orchard Dental removes plaque and surface stains, which can make your teeth appear cleaner and fresher. However, it is not a teeth whitening treatment. If you’re interested in a more noticeable colour change, we can discuss professional whitening options that are safe and effective for your smile.
Is hygiene therapy painful?
Dental hygiene therapy is a professional treatment focused on maintaining the health of your teeth and gums. At Orchard Dental, this service includes thorough teeth cleaning, gum health checks, and professional plaque removal to support long-term gum disease prevention. By targeting the build-up of plaque and tartar, our plaque removal dentists help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of infections. This essential part of dental hygiene in Eastbourne helps you maintain a clean, healthy mouth and avoid more serious dental issues in the future. Regular appointments support strong oral health and make a significant difference in your overall dental wellbeing.
We recommend seeing a dental hygienist every six months, but your dentist may advise more frequent visits based on your individual needs.
While hygiene therapy removes surface stains and leaves your teeth looking cleaner, it doesn’t change their natural colour. For a whiter smile, consider professional teeth whitening.
If you notice bleeding gums, bad breath, plaque build-up, or your teeth feel fuzzy even after brushing, it may be time for a hygiene appointment. At Orchard Dental, we recommend regular visits to help prevent gum disease and keep your mouth clean and healthy. Even without symptoms, routine hygiene care supports long-term dental health. Our team can assess your oral condition and recommend a suitable schedule based on your needs.
