Professional scaling and polishing paired with personalised advice to keep your gums healthy and your smile fresh.
A professional hygiene appointment is the foundation of good oral health — and one of the most undervalued treatments in dentistry. No matter how thorough your home routine, there are areas a toothbrush and floss simply cannot reach. A professional clean removes what builds up in those areas before it causes damage.
What a hygiene appointment involves
At DentArt, every hygiene appointment includes professional scaling to remove hardened tartar deposits from above and below the gumline, polishing to clear surface staining, and a thorough assessment of your gum health. We measure periodontal pocket depths, check for early signs of gum disease, and flag any changes since your last visit.
Think of your hygiene appointment not as a clean but as a clinical assessment. We're looking for what's changing — and intervening before it becomes a problem.
Personalised home care advice
Every appointment ends with tailored advice on your home care routine — brushing technique, flossing method, product recommendations, and anything specific to your clinical picture. Generic advice is easy to ignore. Advice grounded in what we've just seen in your mouth is significantly more useful.
How often should you come in?
For most patients we recommend every six months. Patients with a history of gum disease, a higher cavity risk, or active orthodontic treatment may benefit from more frequent visits — every three to four months. We'll advise you on the right interval for your specific situation.
Book a hygiene appointment and we'll get your baseline established and your home care dialled in.
