Dental Hygiene · Greenwich

Dental hygienist in Greenwich.

Q: What is a scale and polish?

A scale and polish is the core of a hygiene appointment. Your hygienist removes hardened plaque (tartar) and surface stains that brushing can't shift, then polishes your teeth to leave them smooth, clean and noticeably fresher.

Keep your teeth and gums healthy with professional dental hygiene at our Greenwich practice. Our hygienist removes plaque, tartar and stubborn stains for a cleaner, fresher, healthier smile — right now with a special 30-minute hygiene treatment for just £75.

Understanding Dental Hygiene

Why dental hygiene matters.

Dental hygiene is the foundation of a healthy mouth. Even with great brushing at home, hardened plaque and tartar build up in places a toothbrush can't reach — and that's exactly what a dental hygienist in Greenwich is trained to remove.

Left untreated, that build-up is the leading cause of gum disease, bad breath and, ultimately, tooth loss. A regular scale and polish keeps your gums healthy, your breath fresh and your smile bright, while giving us the chance to catch small problems early.

At Smilespark in Greenwich, your hygiene appointment isn't just a clean — it's personalised advice on how to look after your teeth and gums between visits, so your whole family can keep healthier smiles for life.
