Teeth cleaning and polishing: what to expect

Professional hygiene care removes the deposits that everyday brushing cannot reach and helps keep your gums comfortable and healthy.

Your appointment

Your hygienist first checks your teeth and gums, then gently removes plaque and hardened tartar using precise instruments.

Polishing and protection

Polishing smooths the tooth surface and lifts superficial staining. Your clinician may also recommend fluoride or personalised home-care advice.

How often to book

Many patients benefit from cleaning every six months, while people with gum concerns may need a more tailored schedule.
