Gum disease is one of the most common oral health conditions, yet many people are unaware they have it until it progresses. Early signs include bleeding when brushing, swollen gums, or persistent bad breath. Without professional intervention, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and has been linked to wider health concerns, including heart disease and diabetes.

Using specialist instruments like Airflow and techniques, our hygienists remove stubborn plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces and below the gum line, areas that regular brushing and flossing cannot fully address.
Every patient receives tailored advice on brushing technique, flossing, and interdental cleaning suited to their specific needs and dental work, helping you get the most from your home care routine.
Hygienists carefully examine your mouth for early warning signs of gum disease, tooth decay, and other conditions, enabling prompt treatment before issues become more serious.
Professional cleaning removes bacteria that cause bad breath, whilst polishing eliminates surface stains from tea, coffee, and food, revealing your natural tooth colour.
Maintaining healthy gums benefits your overall well-being. Research shows links between gum disease and conditions affecting the heart, blood sugar levels, and pregnancy outcomes.
Our hygienists understand that some patients feel anxious about dental visits. We take time to explain each step, work gently, and ensure you feel comfortable throughout your appointment.
Most patients benefit from hygienist appointments every six months, though individual needs vary. Those with gum disease or higher risk factors may need more frequent visits, whilst others might require less regular care. Your hygienist will recommend a schedule based on your oral health assessment.
Your hygienist will examine your teeth and gums, remove plaque and tartar using professional scaling instruments, polish your teeth to remove surface stains, and provide personalised advice on maintaining good oral hygiene at home. Appointments typically last 30-45 minutes.
Most patients find hygienist appointments comfortable. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, please let your hygienist know — they can adjust their technique and, if needed, use products to help manage sensitivity during treatment.
At Veradent, we recommend regular dental examinations alongside hygienist visits to ensure comprehensive oral health care. Your dentist and hygienist work together to monitor your dental health and address any concerns early.
Even with excellent home care, plaque hardens into tartar within 24-48 hours. Once formed, tartar cannot be removed by brushing and requires professional cleaning by a dental hygienist to prevent gum disease and other oral health problems.
