At One & Only Dental, our experienced hygiene team is here to keep your smile clean, bright, and healthy — with appointments available 7 days a week, including weekends.
Regular visits to our hygienists are one of the most important steps you can take to protect your oral health. Our friendly team provides:
• Professional scale and polish to remove plaque and tartar
• Airflow® Tooth Polishing for effective stain removal and a noticeably brighter smile
• Gum health checks to identify early signs of gum disease
• Personalised advice on brushing, flossing, and maintaining great hygiene at home
During your appointment, your hygienist will:
✔️ Professionally clean your teeth – removing plaque, tartar, and surface stains that can’t be reached with brushing alone
✔️ Use Airflow® Tooth Polishing – a state-of-the-art system that gently blasts away stains and leaves your smile visibly brighter
✔️ Assess your gum health – identifying early signs of gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis) before they cause long-term damage
✔️ Offer tailored advice – helping you improve your at-home oral hygiene routine, with practical tips on brushing, flossing, and more
Even if you brush and floss daily, it’s still easy for plaque and tartar to build up in hard-to-reach areas. Over time, this can lead to:
•Bad breath
•Discolouration and staining
•Bleeding gums
•Gum disease and potential tooth loss
Routine hygiene visits (every 6 months or as advised) play a vital role in maintaining a healthy mouth — and can even help reduce your risk of other health conditions linked to gum disease, such as heart disease and diabetes.
