It is generally recommended to have dental hygiene appointments every six months. However, the frequency may vary based on individual needs, such as a higher risk of gum disease or frequent plaque build-up. Your dentist can provide personalised recommendations for your specific oral health situation.

During a dental hygiene appointment, a dental hygienist will perform a thorough cleaning of your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup. They will also polish your teeth to remove surface stains and conduct a comprehensive examination of your gums and teeth to check for any signs of oral health issues. The dentist may also review your oral hygiene practices and offer personalized advice.

Dental hygiene appointments are generally not painful. Some patients might experience mild discomfort or sensitivity during the cleaning, especially if they have gum disease or significant tartar buildup. Dental professionals strive to ensure patient comfort and can use numbing agents or other methods to minimize discomfort if needed.
