Dental Hygienist Ipswich

A 30-minute appointment with our dental hygienist at Quest Dental Ipswich costs £65.

You may have perfected your oral hygiene routine over the years by ideally brushing twice a day and flossing regularly, giving yourself a Head Start against possible infections and future tooth decay.

Whilst brushing and flossing are essential parts of any good dental regime, on their own, they are not enough to remove bacteria that cause bad breath and gum disease.

If unremoved, this can lead to conditions such as gum abscesses, receding gums, loose teeth, and eventually tooth loss.

These bacteria can be removed through a treatment called scale & polish with a hygienist.

That’s why we believe it’s more important than ever to see a hygienist regularly.

At Quest Dental Ipswich, we are proud to have one of the most experienced and talented hygienists – Atiya Rasheed – as part of our team.

Equipped with the latest technology, our hygienist can help you maintain optimal gum health.

Dental Hygiene Appointment

Dental Hygiene appointments with our practice last 30 minutes.

Our team of hygienists will carry out an assessment to look out for signs of gum inflammation, swelling and bleeding, along with tartar and plaque buildup.

Next, we will proceed with treatment through a scale and polish.

Our hygienist uses specialist instruments like a dental ultrasonic scaler to clean your mouth and gums. Special attention is paid to areas that can not be cleaned via brushing and flossing, like below the gum line.

Our hygienist will carefully remove tartar from your teeth and gums before polishing them for a smooth, clean finish.

Finally, we’ll provide personalized guidance on maintaining good oral health between appointments, including brushing and flossing techniques and making healthy dietary choices for the well-being of your teeth and gums.

Scale & Polish in Ipswich

Tartar builds up and hardens over time, binding itself to the enamel of your teeth – making it unlikely to be removed by brushing and flossing alone.

The best treatment for this is a professional scale & polish.
