Teeth cleaning

Your Hygiene Therapist Visit

Edinburgh’s Stockbridge Dental Practice provides a teeth cleaning service as part of your hygiene therapy visit. Our dental therapists are specially trained in the prevention and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease which is caused by a build up of harmful bacteria in the plaque. Periodontal disease is one of the main causes of tooth loss in adults in the UK.

At your appointment, your dental therapist will tailor your dental care to your mouth and spend time discussing ways to help improve your oral hygiene, which can prevent the need for gum treatment, fillings, and other costly procedures.  

For your hygiene appointment, your dental therapist can also utilise Airflow and Perioflow, a cleaning system involving powder, water and air, which will be more comfortable than the traditional scale and polish and will lift stains to leave you with a brighter smile! 

We offer dental hygiene plans to help spread the cost of your hygiene appointments and ensure that taking care of yourself is something you can make a priority!

You don’t have to be registered as a patient here to see our dental therapists. As of 1st May 2013, patients have the option to see a hygienist or therapist for treatment without seeing a dentist first. 

If you would like to book an appointment with one of our lovely dental therapists, give us a call on 0131 332 5510!
