Hygiene and gum health
Why hygiene visits matter
Brushing well does a lot, but it cannot reach everywhere. Plaque that is left along the gums and between the teeth hardens into tartar, and tartar cannot be brushed off. Left alone, it keeps the gums inflamed, which is the start of gum disease, one of the commonest reasons adults lose teeth.
A hygiene visit removes that build-up and gives your gums a chance to heal. It also shows you exactly where your own cleaning is missing, which is often the most useful part.
What our patients say about it
Hygiene is the topic our Google reviews mention most. Patients write about how thorough the clean was, how gently it was done and how clearly the advice was given. You can read them for yourself on our reviews page, quoted word for word.
Hygiene alongside your check-ups
Most patients book a hygiene visit alongside their check-up, so the dentist and the hygiene team see the same picture. If your teeth are sensitive or stain easily, ask about an Airflow clean, which uses warm water, air and a fine powder instead of so much scraping. If you are thinking about teeth whitening or composite bonding, a clean first gives the best starting point. Regular visits can be spread across the year with a membership plan, and every price is on our fee guide.
Who a hygiene visit suits, and who it does not
It suits you if
- You want your teeth professionally cleaned, with the build-up removed from places a toothbrush cannot reach.
- Your gums bleed when you brush or floss.
- You have staining from tea, coffee, red wine or smoking.
- You want advice on the right brushes and cleaning between your teeth.
It may not suit you if
- You are in pain or have broken a tooth: an emergency appointment is the right first step.
- You have deeper gum problems: we will explain if you need gum treatment over more than one visit rather than a single clean.
What happens, step by step
-
Step 1: Gum check
We look at your gums and the build-up on your teeth, and ask about bleeding, sensitivity and how you clean at home.
-
Step 2: Cleaning
Hardened deposits are removed from around and between your teeth, then the teeth are polished to lift surface staining.
-
Step 3: Advice for home
We show you where the cleaning is being missed and which brushes or interdental cleaners suit your teeth, so the result lasts.
Results and aftercare
How your mouth feels after
Most people find their teeth feel smoother and cleaner straight away. Gums that bled often settle once the build-up is gone and cleaning at home improves.
Keeping it that way
Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth once a day, and keep up regular hygiene visits. How often you come depends on your gums; we tell you what we recommend.
If your gums need more
Some people need gum treatment over more than one appointment. We explain why, what it involves and what it costs before you decide.

Dental Hygienist: your questions
Still have a question?
Call reception on 020 7727 3976, Monday to Friday. We are happy to talk it through before you book.
How much is a hygienist appointment in Notting Hill?
A hygiene appointment at Pembridge Dental costs £130 per visit. If your gums need treatment beyond a standard clean, gum treatment is £400 per arch, and we explain why it is needed before anything is booked. Membership plans can spread the cost of regular visits.
Does a hygiene clean hurt?
A hygiene clean is not usually painful, though some areas can feel sensitive, especially if gums are inflamed or there is a lot of build-up. Tell us how it feels as we go. We can slow down, take breaks and be gentler where you need it.
How long does a hygiene appointment take?
A hygiene appointment is a single visit. The time needed depends on how much build-up there is and how your gums are. We tell you how long to allow when you book, so you are not rushed.
How often should I see the hygienist?
The right gap between hygiene visits depends on your gums, how quickly build-up forms and how well you can clean at home. Some people come twice a year, others more often. We recommend a gap that suits your mouth and explain why.
Why do my gums bleed when I brush?
Bleeding gums are often a sign of gum inflammation caused by plaque along the gumline. A thorough clean and better cleaning at home usually help. If bleeding carries on, it is worth having your gums checked properly at a check-up or hygiene visit.
What should I do after a hygiene visit?
After a hygiene visit, carry on brushing twice a day and cleaning between your teeth, using the brushes we recommended. If your teeth feel sensitive, a toothpaste for sensitive teeth can help for a few days. Book your next visit at the gap we suggested.
