Professional Dental Hygiene

A professional cleaning and prevention appointment with dental hygienist Katarzyna Boruch, tailored to your needs. The visit removes plaque and hardened deposits, addresses staining and includes personalised oral-hygiene instruction for lasting results. Dentica also offers fissure sealing to protect the grooves of back teeth, and the hygiene programme supports patients with orthodontic appliances and dental implants.

A professional hygiene appointment helps keep the teeth and gums healthy and is a foundation for preventing decay and gum disease. At Dentica these visits are carried out by dental hygienist Katarzyna Boruch and are tailored to each patient: the appointment removes the soft plaque and hardened tartar that ordinary brushing cannot, helps reduce surface staining and leaves the mouth feeling clean, while the condition of the gums is assessed at the same time. Just as important is the personalised oral-hygiene instruction that comes with the visit. The hygienist shows you the most effective brushing and cleaning techniques for your mouth and circumstances — including specific guidance for children, adults, patients wearing orthodontic appliances and those with dental implants, who need particular care around brackets and implant components. For children and others at higher risk of decay, the clinic offers fissure sealing, in which the deep grooves of the back teeth are sealed with a protective material to make them easier to keep clean and less prone to cavities; local anaesthetic can be added to the hygiene visit if needed for comfort. Regular hygiene appointments, combined with good daily care at home, are associated with healthier gums and fewer dental problems over time. The team will recommend how often you should attend based on your individual needs, and the practice's periodontology training means patients with gum-health concerns can be supported as part of their wider care.
