Five-Star Dental Hygiene Appointments in Hull
As well as carrying out a scale and polish – or a professional deep clean – to remove stains, plaque and tartar, the hygienist will make sure you’re armed with the latest techniques and products to use at home, and can help you if you need to make lifestyle changes that will benefit both your dental and general health, such as eating healthily or giving up smoking.

Gum Disease Prevention at 543
Maintaining a rigorous cleaning programme at home is vital if you want to minimise the need for hygienist appointments and prevent oral hygiene problems from developing in the future.
Our hygienist will give you advice and tips not only about how to clean your teeth, but also about diet and general lifestyle, as poor oral health has been linked to serious health problems such as diabetes and heart disease. We’ll also screen you for any warning signs of mouth cancer, which is far more treatable if caught early.
There’s a plan for that!
Did you know there’s a dental plan specifically for our patients who would benefit from more frequent hygiene visits? 543 Dencare Hygiene includes 4 hygiene appointments per year, plus a host of other benefits.
FAQs
Can’t my dentist do oral hygiene checks?
Yes, our dentists are fully qualified in all aspects of oral hygiene. However, hygienists undertake specialised training in this area, meaning they focus on removing plaque and tartar from the teeth and below the gum line, where most damage occurs.
Does it hurt to get a scale and polish?
Not usually, though if your gums are very sensitive, the hygienist can use anaesthetic gel to alleviate any discomfort.
How often should I see my hygienist?
If you have good oral health, we generally recommend seeing the hygienist twice a year. If you’ve had dental implants or tooth restorations, you may be required to visit more frequently to ensure plaque is being kept under control effectively around your prosthetic restorations. Your hygienist will advise you on the appropriate interval for your case.
