What is Dental Hygiene?
Dental hygiene is the cornerstone of preventative medicine. While daily brushing and flossing are essential, they cannot effectively remove the hardened deposits of calculus (tartar) that accumulate over time, nor can they reach the microscopic biofilm that thrives deeply below the gum line.
At Cosmetic Dentistry Clinic, our hygiene therapy goes far beyond the superficial "scale and polish". It is a comprehensive medical procedure designed to:
- Arrest Gum Disease: Treating early-stage Gingivitis before it progresses to irreversible Periodontitis.
- Detoxify the Oral Biome: Removing the bacterial load that can enter the bloodstream and affect systemic health.
- Preserve Bone Levels: Preventing the chronic inflammation that causes tooth mobility and loss.
- Enhance Aesthetics: Removing the dulling layer of surface stain for a brighter, more youthful smile.
How It Is Done: Scale & Polish with AirFlow™
We provide professional scale and polish combined with AirFlow™ cleaning. This modern approach delivers a thorough, systematic, and remarkably comfortable experience.
Assessment & Infection Control
We begin with a rinse to lower the viral load. Your hygienist then performs a detailed screening of your gums, checking for pockets, recession, and signs of inflammation.
Disclose (Make Visible)
We apply a harmless vegetable dye to the teeth. This highlights old and new plaque (biofilm) in different colours, showing us exactly where to focus and helping you improve your home care routine.
AirFlow™ Cleansing
This is the game-changer. A warm jet of water, air, and fine erythritol powder is used to wash away the disclosed biofilm and surface stains. This stage effectively removes 100% of bacteria without touching the tooth with a metal instrument.
PerioFlow™ (If Required)
For patients with gum disease, we use a specialized nozzle to gently clean deep periodontal pockets, removing infection from the root surface safely.
Piezon™ Scaling
Only after the biofilm is gone do we use the ultrasonic scaler. Because the AirFlow has already done the heavy lifting, this step is minimal, targeting only the hard calculus. We use "No Pain" technology which adjusts the power intelligently for maximum comfort.
Check & Fluoride
A final check for any remaining deposits, followed by the application of a protective fluoride varnish to seal the tubules and reduce sensitivity.
Why Choose Us for Dental Hygiene?
Choosing a hygienist in London (SW7) is a choice between a quick clean and a medical therapy. Here is why discerning patients choose Cosmetic Dentistry Clinic:
1. The AirFlow™ Difference
While our standard £49 clean removes health-damaging plaque, our AirFlow™ upgrade uses warm water and ultra-fine powder to wash away stubborn cosmetic stains. It's like a mini-whitening treatment.
2. Thorough Cleaning Protocol
We don't guess; we guide. We use a disclosing dye to make invisible bacteria visible, ensuring 100% removal of plaque and tartar. This is the gold standard in preventative care.
3. Direct Access (No Referral Needed)
You do not need to see a dentist first. You can book directly with our award-winning hygienists, Jack Button and Laila Alhussein, saving you time and consultation fees.
4. Pain-Free Protocol
We specialize in sensitive teeth. Our devices use warm water technology (37°C) to eliminate the cold sensitivity often associated with traditional scaling.
The Medical Necessity: Gum Disease
Many patients view a hygiene appointment as a cosmetic quick-fix. While the immediate glow is a welcome benefit, the medical necessity of this procedure cannot be overstated.
Periodontal (Gum) Disease is a silent, chronic condition affecting a vast majority of the adult population in the UK. It is often painless in its early stages (Gingivitis) but can lead to irreversible bone loss and tooth mobility (Periodontitis) if left unchecked. More critically, modern research has firmly established the Oral-Systemic Link—connective pathways linking oral inflammation to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions.
Results: The "AirFlow" Effect
Immediate stain removal without bleaching. Restoring the natural brilliance of the enamel.

How much is a hygienist appointment in London?
Prices in London typically range from £80 to £150. At Cosmetic Dentistry Clinic, our New Patient Introduction is just £49 for a deep clean. If you wish to upgrade to AirFlow™ stain removal, this is an additional £52.
Is the treatment painful?
We specialize in "Pain-Free" dentistry. The AirFlow™ system uses warm water and fine powder, and generally does not cause any sensitivity. For patients with extreme sensitivity, we can apply a topical numbing gel prior to treatment.
