Tell me more about hygienist appointments.

Hygienist appointments focus primarily on the health of your gums. Healthy gums are the foundation of healthy teeth, and making sure they stay plaque-free is paramount if you want to keep the risk of gum disease low.

Your hygienist performs a procedure called a scale and polish, using special instruments to remove plaque and surface stains from your gum line. Not only does this benefit your oral hygiene, but it also leaves your teeth feeling and looking great. 

The philosophy of prevention over cure   

Every member of Partington Dental believes in promoting the idea of prevention over cure. We will offer advice on the following aspects of oral hygiene, to give you the great possible chance of maintaining good gum health between your routine appointments with us: 

  • Brushing and flossing technique. 
  • The kinds of foods to eat for good tooth and gum health. 
  • Focused advice on looking after bridges, dentures and implants. 
  • How to curb bad breath. 
  • How to quit smoking and reduce alcohol intake. 

All treatment is completely tailored to you. Whatever your needs are, we’re here to meet them and to help you build confidence in looking after your teeth and gums. Great oral hygiene is central to your wider dental health and indeed, your general health. 

We are extremely practised at supporting nervous patients here at Partington Dental. If you feel your nerves are preventing you from coming along to your routine hygienist appointments, please contact the practice and one of our dentists can discuss this with you.

I had a really great experience here. The dentist was incredibly nice and genuinely patient the whole time. She was super gentle with the treatment, which made such a big difference, and she took the time to explain... everything clearly — what she was doing, what was going to happen next, and why. It made me feel totally at ease. I really appreciated how calm and reassuring the whole visit felt. Once again thank you Emilyread more

Fantastic practice, accessible and clean, everyone from the receptionists to the doctors and nurses are helpful, friendly, and professional!I saw Dr Bilal Ahmad and nurse Cody for a denture re-fit, having sensory... issues and a sensitive gag reflex the prospect of this was initially daunting, but not an issue whatsoever - I was made comfortable from the moment I arrived, especially since Dr Bilal and Codey explained each part of the process both before and as they went along, pausing as needed to make sure I wasn't sick, which was very much appreciated. I found the entire process so much faster than I thought it would be, the results are fantastic, my dentures finally fit comfortably, so well in fact that I no longer need adhesive unless I'm going to be eating something that requires a good chew, fantastic!read more

From entering reception and being greeted by staff, then the nurse introducing herself and asking if I would be happy to have the trainee nurse present during my appointment. Those few minutes had me feeling relaxed.... Hassan introduced himself to me and explained what he would be doing. He was so warm and friendly and very professional. Throughout my visit he talked through what he would be doing.. xrays..referral for teeth extractions. He completely put me at ease, as did the Dental Nurses. Thankyiu for putting me at ease.read more
