Keep your smile healthy with dental hygiene in Chiswick
At West London Dental Centre, we offer professional dental hygiene services that go far beyond a quick scale and polish. Our experienced hygienists focus on preventive care, plaque removal, tartar removal, and personalised advice to help you maintain excellent oral health between dental check-ups.
Whether you’re overdue for a teeth cleaning, struggling with bleeding gums, or searching for a dental hygienist, we’re here to support you with advanced care and a friendly approach.
Professional plaque and tartar removal for lasting results
Plaque is a soft, sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth. If not removed through daily brushing and flossing, it hardens into tartar (calculus) – a tough substance that can only be removed by a dental professional.
During your hygienist appointment, we carry out thorough plaque and tartar removal using advanced tools and gentle techniques. This helps:
- Prevent gum disease and tooth decay
- Eliminate bad breath (halitosis)
- Reduce staining caused by coffee, tea, and smoking
- Support overall oral health
Regular visits to your hygienist can reduce your risk of more serious dental issues and keep your smile looking fresh and clean.
Teeth cleaning tailored to your individual needs
No two mouths are the same. That’s why we tailor your teeth cleaning appointment based on your oral health status, lifestyle, and goals.
Your hygienist will begin with a full gum health assessment before gently cleaning your teeth, removing surface stains, and polishing the enamel. For patients with early signs of gum disease or deeper build-ups of tartar, we may recommend a deeper clean or follow-up treatment.
We also support patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, those with dental implants, and those at higher risk of gum disease due to smoking, diabetes, or medication.
Simple ways to improve dental flossing and interdental brushing
Simple ways to improve dental flossing and interdental brushingMany patients find it difficult to clean between their teeth effectively. Our hygienists can demonstrate the best techniques for interdental brushing and dental flossing, and recommend the right tools for your mouth.
We’ll show you how to:
- Choose the right size of interdental brushes
- Floss without damaging your gums
- Use water flossers or soft picks if you have braces, bridges, or implants
- Incorporate flossing into your daily routine
Small changes to your cleaning habits can have a big impact on your gum health and prevent plaque build-up between appointments.
The benefits of regular visits to your hygienist
Seeing a dental hygienist regularly isn’t just about a cleaner smile – it’s about protecting your long-term oral health.
The benefits of hygiene care:
- Prevents and manages gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis)
- Reduces the need for fillings or more complex treatments
- Improves overall health by reducing inflammation in the mouth
- Provides early detection of dental or gum problems
- Helps you stay motivated and confident in your oral care
Most patients benefit from seeing their hygienist every 6 months, but we may suggest more frequent visits if you’re at higher risk.
