Hygienist Visits — What You Get For £84

What actually happens

Professional scaling removes the hardened tartar (calculus) that brushing can't touch — above and below the gumline — followed by polishing to remove surface staining from tea, coffee, wine and smoking. Just as important is the part people underrate: personalised home-care advice on technique, interdental brushes and the specific areas your plaque scores show you're missing.

Why it matters more than whitening

Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in UK adults, and it's largely preventable. Bleeding when you brush isn't normal — it's the earliest sign. Regular hygiene visits intercept gum disease while it's still reversible (gingivitis) rather than waiting until it's managing-only (periodontitis).

How often should you go?

It depends on your gum health, not a fixed rule. Healthy mouths often suit six-monthly visits; patients with a history of gum disease may need three-monthly periodontal maintenance — our periodontal plan is £24.99/month for exactly that pattern. Your hygienist will recommend an interval based on your measurements, not a sales target.

Smokers, vapers, and heavy tea drinkers

Staining returns faster for you, and smoking both accelerates gum disease and masks its bleeding warning sign. More frequent hygiene visits are genuinely worth it — and a polish removes most surface staining without whitening treatment.

The plan maths

The adult Dental Plan is £19.60/month and gives 15% off all fees. If your year includes two examinations and two hygiene visits, the discount plus included care typically covers most of the plan cost — ask reception to run your numbers honestly before you join.
