How much does a dental hygiene appointment cost at MyoDental?

Dental hygiene appointments at MyoDental in Weybridge start from £80 for a simple 30-minute visit. This typically covers a professional scale and polish to remove plaque and tartar build-up and leave your teeth feeling smooth and clean.

What happens at a hygiene appointment?

During a hygiene appointment, your hygienist will examine your gums, carry out a thorough scale to remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line and then polish your teeth to lift surface staining. They will also give tailored advice on brushing, flossing and interdental cleaning so you can maintain your results at home.

What is AIRFLOW and how can it help my smile?

AIRFLOW is an advanced spray technology that uses a controlled stream of air, water and fine powder to clean and polish your teeth. It is particularly effective at removing surface stains from tea, coffee, red wine and smoking, reaching areas that are difficult to access with a brush while remaining gentle and minimally abrasive.

How do hygiene visits help prevent gum disease?

Gum disease is caused by the build-up of plaque and bacteria around the teeth. Regular hygiene appointments remove these deposits from areas you cannot clean fully yourself, helping to prevent gingivitis and stop it progressing to periodontitis, which can lead to bone loss, loose teeth and eventually tooth loss if left untreated.

What are the signs that I might have gum disease?

Early signs of gum disease can include bleeding when brushing or flossing, redness or swelling of the gums, gum recession and bad breath. In more advanced cases, gums may feel sore, teeth can become loose and gaps can appear. If you notice any of these symptoms, a hygiene appointment and gum assessment are strongly recommended.

How often should I see the hygienist?

Most patients are advised to see the hygienist every six months, but if you are prone to gum problems, have a history of gum disease, smoke or have complex dental work, you may be advised to attend every three to four months. Your dentist or hygienist will recommend an interval based on your individual risk.

Is a hygiene appointment painful?

Hygiene appointments are generally comfortable and many patients simply report a feeling of pressure or mild sensitivity when deposits are removed from the teeth. If your gums are particularly inflamed or you are worried about discomfort, your clinician can work more slowly, use desensitising products or apply local anaesthetic in specific areas where needed.

What is the difference between a dental check-up and a hygiene visit?

A dental check-up is carried out by a dentist and focuses on diagnosing problems such as decay, cracks, wear, gum disease and oral cancer. A hygiene visit is carried out by a hygienist and focuses on cleaning your teeth, treating and preventing gum disease and coaching you on home care. Both appointments work together to keep your mouth healthy.

Can hygiene treatment help with bad breath?

Yes. Persistent bad breath is often linked to a build-up of plaque, tartar and bacteria around the teeth and under the gums. By removing these deposits and showing you how to clean effectively at home, hygiene treatment can significantly improve breath freshness as well as overall gum health.

Do I need to see the dentist before booking a hygiene appointment?

If you are a new patient, MyoDental will usually arrange a dental check-up first so your overall oral health can be assessed. Existing patients can often book hygiene appointments directly at the recommended interval. The reception team can advise you on the most appropriate option when you call or book online.

How do I book a hygiene appointment at MyoDental?

Let us help prevent gum disease

Regular dental check-ups and hygiene appointments look after your gums as well as your teeth. Gum disease, caused by plaque buildup around your teeth, is the leading cause of tooth loss, and regular professional cleanings will help prevent it.

Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease, causing red, swollen, and bleeding gums, though it is often silent, with no symptoms at all.

Your dentist and dental hygienist at MyoDental Weybridge are highly skilled in detecting gum disease at the earliest signs and treating it before it causes problems, including tooth loss.

While missing teeth can be replaced with cosmetic dentistry techniques provided by our experienced team, catching gum disease early and stopping it in its tracks is always the preferred option.

Diagnosed with gum disease? Let's help you get it under control and minimise symptoms

If you think you may have gum disease, our skilled team at MyoDental Weybridge is here to help. Symptoms of early-stage gum disease (Gingivitis) can include bleeding gums, gum recession and tooth sensitivity.

If left untreated, this can develop to the next stage, known as Periodontitis. This is where the inner layer of the gum pulls away from the tooth, and the bone shrinks. Pockets then form, which can become infected, ultimately leading to permanent tooth loss.

Our experienced dentists are equipped with the latest materials and technology to provide patients with advanced and effective gum treatment solutions.

After a thorough consultation, we’ll put together a gum care plan, combining good home-based oral hygiene with practice-led treatment to help to reverse the damage caused by gum disease.
