What is Dental Hygiene Treatment?

Gum disease (gingivitis) is a very common problem and symptoms such as inflammed gums, bleeding, sensitivity, receding gums and pain on brushing can all be signs of this. It is the leading cause of tooth loss, which is why at Ruh dental we take a preventative approach to gum disease, as it is very treatable.

Dental hygiene treatment focuses on the prevention and management of gum disease (gingivitis), one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. Early signs often show up as swollen, sore, or bleeding gums, sensitivity, and bad breath. If left untreated, gum disease can progress into periodontitis, a more serious condition that damages the supporting structures of your teeth, leading to looseness and even tooth loss.

Our Manchester dental hygienists specialise in early prevention and ongoing maintenance. With regular visits, you can:

 

Keep your gums healthy and free from disease

Reduce the risk of tooth decay and tooth loss

Maintain fresh breath and a confident smile

Improve overall health (as gum disease is linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions)

At Ruh Dental Manchester, we recommend a hygiene appointment at least twice a year, though patients with a history of gum issues may benefit from more frequent visits.

Got my Invisalign and whitening with dr Kunal at the Fleet Street branch and it really has been life changing. He’s given me the confidence to smile and laugh without covering my mouth. Very professional and listens to what i wanted and always exceeded my expectations. Also makes the entire Invisalign journey easy and comfortable as he was always there to answer any questions I had at any time. Highly recommend ruh dental and dr Kunal. It really is the best decision I’ve made. Had so many compliments on my teeth, even by strangers.

Frequently Asked Questions for Dental Hygiene

Do you offer dental hygiene appointments in Manchester city centre?

Yes! Our clinic is based in Spinningfields, central Manchester, with excellent transport links from across the city.

How often should I have a dental hygiene appointment?

We usually recommend every 6 months, though patients with a history of gum disease or heavy tartar build-up may benefit from more frequent visits.

What does a dental hygiene appointment in Manchester include?

A typical hygiene appointment includes a gum health assessment, professional cleaning, polishing, and tailored advice on maintaining good oral hygiene at home

Is a dental hygiene appointment painful?

Most patients find the treatment comfortable. For sensitive gums, we can apply a numbing gel or adjust our cleaning method to suit you, so we can ensure your experience is pain-free.

Can a hygiene visit remove stains from my teeth?

Yes, our airflow cleaning helps remove surface stains caused by tea, coffee, wine, and smoking. For deeper whitening, we may recommend professional teeth whitening treatment. 

What’s the difference between a scale and polish and an advanced hygiene clean?

A standard scale and polish removes plaque and tartar. Our advanced hygiene uses ultrasonic scalers and Airflow polishing for a deeper clean and brighter finish.

Absolutely. Bad breath is often caused by bacteria and plaque build-up, so a hygiene appointment removes these and leaves your breath fresher.
