Hygiene appointments
Seeing a dental hygienist or dental therapist is an important part of maintaining good dental health. Regular hygiene appointments can help prevent gum disease and tooth decay by removing plaque and tartar that can build up over time. By including professional teeth cleaning as part of your dental care routine, you can help keep your teeth and gums healthy and reduce the risk of future dental problems.
Why should I see a dental hygienist or dental therapist?
Regular visits to a dental hygienist put you in the best position to identify potential dental health issues early, before they cause symptoms or require more complex treatment.
Dental hygienists and dental therapists are trained to clean areas of your mouth that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush alone. Even the best electric toothbrush can't remove all plaque and tartar, particularly around the gum line and between teeth. Professional cleaning helps keep these areas healthy and supports long-term dental health.

What happens at a hygiene appointment?
At your hygiene appointment at Capel Dental Care, your dental hygienist or dental therapist will begin with a visual examination to assess your overall dental health.
They will then carefully remove plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth and around the gum line using specialist tools. Hand-held mirrors are used to ensure all areas of your mouth are thoroughly cleaned.
Your appointment may also include a polish to remove surface staining and leave your teeth feeling clean and smooth. In some cases, fluoride or antibacterial products may be applied if clinically appropriate.
