Many people believe a visit to the hygienist is just about polishing teeth. At Tuddenham Road Dental Surgery, we see it as the foundation of your overall health.
Gum health is scientifically linked to heart health, diabetes, and general wellbeing. Our dedicated hygiene team focuses on prevention over cure, using advanced cleaning techniques to remove the plaque and tartar that brushing alone cannot reach. It is the ultimate reset button for your oral health.
Coffee, tea, and red wine leave their mark. Our professional cleaning gently lifts stubborn surface stains to restore the natural brightness of your teeth instantly.
Persistent bad breath (halitosis) is often caused by bacteria hiding below the gum line. We flush out these areas to leave your mouth feeling genuinely fresh and clean.
We treat and prevent gingivitis and periodontal disease. By stopping gum bleeding and recession early, we help you keep your natural teeth for life.

We know that for some, the hygienist chair can feel vulnerable. You might be worried about sensitivity, or perhaps you haven't attended in a while and fear a "telling off."
Please don't worry. Our hygienists are renowned for their gentle touch and non-judgmental approach. Whether it has been six months or six years since your last visit, we are simply happy you are here. We can use numbing gels and varying techniques to ensure your comfort is our top priority.
Supported by three dedicated hygienists with decades of combined experience, our team works closely with your dentist to tailor a cleaning plan that suits your specific needs.
