Key facts
Fees shown are from our published price guide. Your written treatment plan confirms costs before anything begins.
Why hygiene visits matter more than most patients think
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in UK adults and it is largely painless until it is advanced. Bleeding gums are not normal, and by the time teeth loosen, the supporting bone lost cannot be regrown.
Regular professional cleaning, combined with technique that actually works at home, prevents almost all of it.
What happens in the appointment
Hardened deposits are removed from above and below the gumline with ultrasonic and hand instruments, staining is polished away, and your gum health is measured and recorded so change can be tracked over time.
You will also get specific, practical advice about your own mouth — which spaces need an interdental brush, which surfaces you routinely miss, and what size to buy.
