EMS Airflow
GREAT NEWS! We are now able to offer Direct Access Hygienist Appointments to NON-REGISTERED PATIENTS without them needing to see a dentist first!
Your Hygienist Visit will include state of the art technology; Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) This uses gentle AIRFLOW ® technology to clean and polish the teeth. More technically speaking, the procedure removes biofilm, surface stains and young calculus on natural teeth, fillings and implants. The AIRFLOW ® also uses warm water so is an ideal treatment for patients who avoid seeing the hygienist due to having sensitive teeth!
ONLY £100 (fee taken at time of appointment booking)
Appointments available on Wednesdays & Thursdays with our lovely Hygienist Rachel.
Benefits of the Procedure
There are three key benefits of Guided Biofilm Therapy and AIRFLOW® compared to normal cleaning and polishing:
- AIRFLOW® is one of the air polishing technologies that removes biofilm from all the nooks and crannies around your mouth, for example, deep pits and fissures, interdental spaces, crowded teeth and around implants. It is also a fantastic way to clean the areas around fixed orthodontic braces!
- GBT is extremely gentle and minimally invasive, preserving the integrity of natural teeth, implants and fillings. The GBT and AIRFLOW® system is also the gentlest way to clean teeth and remove staining.
- GBT is designed to be a highly comfortable procedure throughout all 8 stages. The AIRFLOW® machine uses warm water, allowing us to treat areas of recession and sensitivity without the need for local anaesthetic.

Our Process of Dental Hygiene
Dental hygiene treatments are carried out by a highly trained dental hygienist, who will help remove plaque from those hard-to-reach areas of your teeth that may have built up over time. Here’s what you can expect during your hygiene appointment:
- Our hygienist will thoroughly assess your gums and teeth to determine where plaque and tartar needs to be removed, clearly identifying any potential risk factors.
- Your teeth will be professionally cleaned using specialised equipment such as the EMS Airflow and polishing pastes, a process which patients’ commonly know as scaling and polishing.
- You will be advised on the best tooth brushing technique and given tips on flossing and using interdental brushes to remove plaque.
Gum Disease Prevention
Dental hygiene plays a key preventive role in issues like gum disease and bad breath. If you have a bridge, denture, orthodontic treatment or dental implant, the hygienist will offer personalised care to meet your specific needs.
Regular hygiene appointments are essential to keeping your mouth fresh, clean and in top condition. We recommend booking them regularly to maintain long-term oral health.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is dental hygiene and why is it important?
Dental hygiene refers to the practices that help maintain the health of your teeth and gums, such as brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings. Regular hygiene habits prevent the build-up of plaque and tartar, which can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath. Keeping your teeth clean is essential for overall oral health and can contribute to your general well-being.
2. How often should I visit the hygienist?
We recommend visiting the dental hygienist at least once every six months for a professional clean. However, depending on your individual needs, your hygienist may suggest more frequent appointments, especially if you are prone to plaque build-up or gum issues. Regular visits ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy and free from harmful bacteria.
3. What happens during a dental hygiene appointment?
During your dental hygiene appointment, our experienced hygienist will carry out a thorough clean to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums. They will also offer advice on improving your brushing and flossing techniques, and may apply fluoride treatments to protect your teeth. If necessary, they will provide guidance on how to manage gum health and recommend suitable products for your oral care routine.
4. Can dental hygiene help with bad breath?
Yes, poor dental hygiene is one of the leading causes of bad breath, often due to the build-up of bacteria in the mouth. Regular visits to the hygienist help to remove plaque and tartar, which can harbour bacteria, as well as ensuring that your mouth stays fresh and clean. If bad breath persists, your hygienist will be able to identify any underlying issues, such as gum disease or other oral health concerns.
