Protect your smile with professional dental hygiene care
At 🦷 Forest & Ray 😊, we believe that prevention is just as important as treatment. Our dental hygiene services in London focus on keeping your teeth and gums healthy through regular cleanings, tailored advice, and early detection of potential problems. By seeing a dental hygienist regularly, you not only enjoy a fresher smile but also protect your long-term oral and overall health.
Why is dental hygiene important?
Good dental hygiene is the foundation of a healthy mouth. Even with careful brushing and flossing at home, plaque and bacteria build up in hard-to-reach areas. If left untreated, this can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, bad breath, and even tooth loss. Research also shows that poor oral hygiene is linked to systemic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory issues.
Regular visits to a dental hygienist ensure that these problems are spotted early – before they develop into something more serious.
What happens during a dental hygiene appointment?
A dental hygiene session is more than just cleaning. It is a comprehensive preventive care appointment that may include:
- Professional scale and polish to remove plaque and tartar from teeth and gum line
- Periodontal assessment to check the health of your gums
- Personalised oral hygiene advice – guidance on brushing, flossing, interdental cleaning and diet
- Fresh breath treatment by removing bacteria that cause odour
- Preventive care such as fluoride application or fissure sealants if recommended
Every session is tailored to your needs, ensuring maximum comfort and long-term benefits.
Dental Hygiene and Teeth Cleaning – a perfect match
A key part of professional dental hygiene is regular teeth cleaning. While hygiene sessions focus on the overall prevention of gum disease and long-term oral health, professional teeth cleaning specifically targets the removal of plaque, tartar and stains. Together, these treatments ensure that your smile is not only healthy but also looks its best. Our hygienists recommend combining regular dental hygiene care with teeth cleaning sessions for the most effective results.
How often should I see a dental hygienist?
Most patients benefit from a dental hygiene appointment every 6 months. However, if you are prone to gum disease, smoke, wear braces, or have implants, you may need more frequent visits (every 3–4 months). Your dentist or hygienist will advise the ideal schedule for you.
