How often should I see a dental hygienist?

Most patients benefit from seeing a dental hygienist every six months, although appointments may be recommended more frequently depending on your oral health.

Can a hygienist remove stains from my teeth?

Yes. Professional hygiene appointments remove plaque, tartar and many surface stains, leaving your teeth feeling cleaner and looking brighter.

Do I need a hygiene appointment if I brush well at home?

Yes. Even with excellent home care, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas that require professional cleaning.

Q: Does a hygiene appointment hurt?

Most hygiene appointments are comfortable. If you have sensitive teeth or inflamed gums, your hygienist will tailor the treatment to keep you as comfortable as possible.

ABOUT Montagu Dental

Dental Hygiene in Marylebone

Healthy gums are the foundation of long-term oral health. Even with excellent brushing and flossing, biofilm (bacterial plaque) can accumulate in areas that are difficult to reach at home. Over time, this can harden into tartar and lead to inflammation or gum disease.
