Stop problems before they start.
Routine hygiene care protects your gums, your smile, and your future dental health.
Why Prevention Matters
Your First Line of Defence
Prevention is more than keeping your teeth bright – it’s about protecting your long-term oral health. By addressing potential issues early, we help you maintain a confident, healthy smile for years to come.
Most oral health problems begin silently and progress without pain. Routine dental hygiene visits give us the opportunity to detect and address them before they require more complex treatment.
What Is a Dental Hygiene Appointment?
More Than Just a Cleaning
It’s not just about brighter teeth – it’s about healthier gums, fresher breath, and early protection.
Dental hygiene treatments are preventive procedures aimed at keeping your gums healthy and your teeth free from harmful buildup. Unlike emergency or restorative care, hygiene visits are scheduled routinely to maintain your smile and avoid future problems.
At Attelia London, hygiene appointments include:
-
Thorough removal of plaque and tartar using ultrasonic tools
-
Professional Airflow® polishing to eliminate surface stains
-
Early detection of gum issues such as inflammation or recession
-
Tailored oral care guidance to improve your daily routine
Our approach is gentle, clinically led, and customised to your oral health needs. Each appointment is an opportunity to gain personalised insights into your oral health.
