Our expert hygiene team doesn’t just clean teeth – we empower you with the knowledge and tools to maintain optimal oral health at home. Follow these daily steps to maintain a healthy mouth, fresh breath and to maximise the longevity of your smile.
Brush with a small, vigorous circular action or use an electric toothbrush.
Try and brush in an ordered sequence starting with the inside surfaces first as they are the most awkward to reach.
Move along one tooth at a time with the brush head angled 45 degrees towards the gum line to ensure nowhere is missed.
Be careful to brush right down to the gum level as this is where most plaque builds up.
Use a ruler length piece of floss, wind floss around your middle fingers to keep it taut. Then place the floss over the tips of your first fingers to reach your back teeth
Floss your top front teeth by placing it over the tip of one finger and one thumb
Now ease the floss between your teeth with a gentle sawing action and then clean with an up and down movement, ensuring you curve the floss round each side of each tooth and place the floss slightly below the gum line.
Few people have such a thorough brushing and flossing routine that they would not benefit from the use of mouthwash.
An excellent daily mouthwash can help eliminate food debris and bacteria that has not all been removed by brushing and flossing and can be very effective at combating bad breath.
Other mouthwashes are particularly helpful in preventing decay in those prone to recurrent problems or in treating acute gum infections when necessary.
Tongue cleaning is an important part of your oral hygiene and fresh breath program. The back of the tongue is a reservoir for organisms that cause gum disease, tooth decay and bad breath.
A tongue cleaner can be used to gently sweep this substance away to reduce the bacteria in your mouth and freshen your breath, alongside a retardex oral spray and mouth rinse.
We stock an extensive range of dental care products. Each item has been carefully rated, and we will be happy to advise on the best product for you.
The combination of food and bacteria in your mouth can cause decay, gum disease and bad breath—and with the best will in the world it is still difficult to eradicate plaque and prevent the build up of tartar completely.
That’s why we recommend visiting the hygienist for a professional dental cleaning session every 3-6 months.
If you have had porcelain veneers or crown and bridgework you’ll need to attend our hygienist at least twice a year to extend your guarantee to up to five years.
We generally recommend professional hygiene visits every 3-6 months to maintain optimal oral health. However, if you have porcelain veneers or crown and bridgework, you’ll need to visit at least twice a year to maintain your 10-year guarantee. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalised care plan based on your specific needs.
Most patients find professional cleaning comfortable, but we understand some may feel anxious. Our award-winning hygienists use the latest techniques and technologies to ensure your comfort. For patients with sensitive teeth or gums, we can provide additional measures to make your treatment more comfortable.
A standard hygiene appointment typically takes 30-45 minutes. However, for our Fresh Breath Care Plans or Full Mouth Disinfection treatments, sessions may be longer. We offer flexible weekend and evening appointments to fit around your schedule.
Even with excellent home care, some areas are difficult to clean effectively. Professional cleaning removes hardened tartar that can’t be removed by brushing alone, reaches areas that are hard to access at home, and helps prevent gum disease and decay. Our hygienists also spot potential issues early before they become serious problems.
We’ll provide you with a personalised home care routine and recommend specific products suited to your needs. This typically includes proper brushing and flossing techniques, appropriate mouthwash use, and tongue cleaning. As London’s twice-awarded Best UK Clinic, we’re committed to helping you maintain optimal oral health at home.
