Hygiene and check-ups
Forty minutes with the same hygienist every time: a gentle clean above and below the gums, a polish, and a check of everything that has changed since your last visit. Most of what we prevent here never needs treatment.

Questions
What people ask about Hygiene and check-ups.
How often should I come?
Twice a year for most people, every three or four months if your gums need extra care.
Does a clean hurt?
It should not. We work gently and use numbing gel for sensitive areas.
Is the check-up included?
Yes. The dentist joins at the end of every hygiene visit for a short check.
