Dental problems often start from plaque and bacteria, leading to gum inflammation, bleeding, bad breath, and stained teeth. At Battersea Dentist, we focus on preventative care, giving you the guidance and tools to maintain excellent oral hygiene between your regular six-month check-ups.
A dental hygienist clean, also called a scale and polish, is a professional teeth cleaning procedure performed by your dentist or hygienist. Using specialised tools and an ultrasonic scaler, it helps remove plaque and tartar, supporting gum health and preventing gum disease.
Comprehensive Cleaning: Your dentist will advise how often you need a hygiene appointment. At each visit, your teeth and gums are thoroughly cleaned to remove plaque and tartar, helping prevent gum disease.
Oral Hygiene Advice: We provide personalised guidance to help you maintain your oral health at home. This includes practical tips and techniques for brushing, flossing, and using interdental brushes tailored to your teeth and gums.
Polishing Treatment: After your cleaning, we professionally polish your teeth to leave them looking bright, smooth, and your breath feeling fresh.
Gum Assessment and Health Check: We perform a Basic Periodontal Examination (BPE) to measure your gum health and identify any issues. This allows us to personalise your cleaning plan. For patients needing more advanced care, we also offer comprehensive periodontal assessments and treatment within the practice.
Maintain a healthy, radiant smile with care from trusted dental professionals.
Airflow polishing is an advanced professional treatment designed to remove surface stains and harmful biofilm from your teeth and gums. Using a combination of fine powder, water, and compressed air, it effectively cleans in between teeth and along the gumline, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and your smile restored.
Airflow cleaning is ideal if:
You want a brighter smile – Perfect for removing stains from tea, coffee, or other heavily pigmented foods and drinks.
You have sensitive teeth – The ultra-fine powder used at Battersea Dentist minimises discomfort during treatment.
You want healthier gums – Airflow reduces inflammation and helps prevent bleeding.
Safe and effective – This treatment is suitable for all patients, including those with crowns, veneers, dental implants, braces, or composite bonding.
Research shows a clear connection between oral bacteria and serious health conditions such as heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes. Regular hygiene appointments, as recommended by your dentist, not only protect your oral health but also support your overall wellbeing.
Additional benefits of dental hygiene cleaning include:
Removal of plaque and tartar buildup
Prevention of gum disease
Early detection of dental issues
Fresher breath
A brighter, whiter smile
