Dental hygiene isn’t simply about making your teeth feel cleaner. It’s about protecting the gums and bone that support them, helping you keep your natural teeth, restorations and dental implants healthy for as long as possible.
At Broad Street Dental Practice, our hygiene care is built around prevention and longevity. We’ll professionally clean the areas that are difficult to manage at home, monitor your gum health and give you practical advice that’s specific to your mouth.
Even with good brushing, plaque and bacterial biofilm can collect in areas that are difficult to reach. If left undisturbed, this can contribute to gum inflammation and eventually more serious gum problems.
During your hygiene appointment, we’ll assess your gums and thoroughly clean around your teeth and gumline, removing deposits and build-up that can’t simply be brushed away at home.
Just as importantly, we’ll identify the areas you’re finding harder to keep clean and show you how to look after them between appointments.

We also offer Airflow tooth polishing, which uses a controlled stream of warm water, air and fine powder to remove bacterial biofilm and stubborn surface staining.
It’s particularly useful for staining caused by things such as tea, coffee, red wine and smoking, while allowing us to clean thoroughly around the contours of the teeth.
Airflow isn’t teeth whitening. It removes staining sitting on the surface of the teeth, revealing their natural colour underneath.
Dental implants can’t develop tooth decay, but the gums and bone supporting them still need careful maintenance.
If you have implants, we’ll pay particular attention to the health of the surrounding tissues and show you how to clean effectively around your replacement teeth. Whether you have a single implant, implant bridge or a complete set of implant-supported teeth, we’ll tailor your hygiene advice to your treatment.
Good maintenance is one of the most important things you can do to give your implants the best chance of staying healthy for the long term.
Generic instructions to “brush twice a day and floss” only go so far.
Different mouths need different approaches. Crowded teeth, bridges, implants, crowns and areas of gum recession can all create spaces that require a little more attention.
We’ll help you find a routine that’s effective but realistic, so you know exactly what to concentrate on once you’re back at home.
Some of the most valuable dental care is the treatment you never end up needing.
Regular hygiene appointments allow us to keep an eye on changes in your gum health, tackle build-up before it becomes a bigger problem and help you maintain the dental work you’ve already invested in.
Whether we’re helping you protect your natural teeth or look after dental implants designed to serve you for many years, the principle is the same: good maintenance gives good dentistry its best chance of lasting.
