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. 

How much does a hygienist appointment cost? 

Our hygienist appointments are affordable, with no compromise on the quality of care we deliver. Take a look at our latest hygienist appointment prices here.

I was a dental nurse for nearly 15 years, and this is one of the best-run practices I’ve visited, and one of the most thorough dentists I’ve seen. The team are also incredibly kind and down to earth.Dentist Nadine is... just brilliant. More thorough than a great deal of private dentists I’ve worked for -checking gum health in detail, tooth wear, malocclusion, soft tissues, discussing our diets and how to improve them for our teeth. Detailed charting, perfect X-rays. And on top of this she is a genuinely lovely person. The teamwork with her nurse Abbie was evident, they worked seamlessly together and she was brilliant too.Nadine even very kindly smoothed a stained composite filling on my partner’s front tooth during his appointment - no more black stain! This has improved his confidence. He was thrilled to get a sticker at the end of his appointment too 🤣!When I researched the practice I just knew Nadine would be thorough when I saw she uses rubber dam for certain treatments. For those who don’t know what it is - it’s a protective barrier placed around a tooth that ensures excellent isolation and prevents (particularly a root canal) being contaminated by saliva etc, and chemicals from the treatment going in your mouth. It’s a measure not even 75% of private dentists (or more tbh) I nursed for would bother with, let alone NHS dentists with much tighter time restrictions. It’s so good to see!Excuse the rambling, I was just really blown away. Even though I don’t work in the profession anymore it’s just so good to see a practice - especially NHS - run at this level (shoutout to the receptionists too!). If I needed or wanted treatment like Invisalign, whitening etc from a dentist, I’d happily go here. You just know with that level of detail you’re in the best hands and going to get an excellent result.Keep up the amazing work guys - I’ll see you in July for my little filling! 😁 xread more

Efficient service, very clear advice on options for my broken tooth with fees. Prompt follow up appointment within three weeks which is fine for the issue. Many thanks.
