Dental Hygiene & Gum Health in Cheam
Professional teeth cleaning and gum care to keep your mouth feeling fresh and healthy.
Why Dental Hygiene Matters More Than You Think
Brushing and flossing at home is essential, but it’s not always enough. Plaque builds up in places your toothbrush can’t reach, and over time, it hardens into tartar that only a professional can remove.
Left untreated, this buildup can lead to gum disease, bad breath, and eventually tooth loss. In fact, gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults, and it often develops without pain until it’s advanced.
Regular oral hygiene treatment in Cheam removes the buildup, protects your gums, and keeps your smile looking and feeling its best. It’s one of the simplest ways to prevent bigger problems down the line.
What's Included in Your Teeth Cleaning
A hygiene appointment at Nonsuch Park Dental leaves your mouth feeling fresh and thoroughly clean. We use ultrasonic scaling to gently remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and along the gum line, followed by gentle stain removal with polishing to smooth and brighten your smile.
If you have signs of gum disease, we offer targeted treatments to help.
A standard hygiene maintenance appointment costs £90. We’ll also give you tailored advice on brushing, interdental cleaning, and looking after your teeth at home, so you can maintain that fresh feeling between visits.
Your hygiene visit works alongside your regular dental check-up, where the dentist examines your teeth, gums, and mouth.
What Our Patients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have a hygiene appointment?
Most people benefit from a scale and polish in Cheam every six months. If you have gum disease or are prone to tartar buildup, we may recommend more frequent visits.
Is teeth cleaning painful?
Not at all. Most patients find it comfortable and even relaxing. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, let us know, and we’ll adjust our approach to keep you comfortable.
What's the difference between gingivitis and periodontal disease?
Gingivitis is early-stage gum disease, causing redness and inflammation. It’s reversible with proper care. Periodontal disease is more advanced, affecting the bone and tissues supporting your teeth. Both are treatable, but early intervention is key.
Can a hygiene appointment whiten my teeth?
A scale and polish removes surface stains, so your teeth will look brighter and cleaner afterwards. For more significant whitening, we offer professional teeth whitening treatments.
My gums bleed when I brush. Is that normal?
Bleeding gums are usually a sign of gum disease. It’s common, but it’s not something to ignore. Book a hygiene appointment, and we’ll assess your gums and recommend the right treatment.
