Oral health check and assessment

Whether it’s your first hygiene visit or you're returning for regular care, your hygienist will begin by listening to your concerns and checking your gum health. Nervous? Let us know; we’ll take it slowly and make sure you're always comfortable.

Gentle scale and polish

Using specialist equipment, we’ll remove plaque and tartar from areas your toothbrush can’t reach. This is followed by a gentle polish to lift surface stains and leave your teeth feeling smooth and clean.

Personalised oral health advice

We’ll offer advice on brushing, flossing, and home care tailored to your smile and lifestyle. Got a question about your electric toothbrush or flossing technique? We’ll walk you through it.

We help hundreds of patients from Corby and wider Northamptonshire maintain healthy, confident smiles

“Everyone at Smiles Ahead has been so amazing. I had to go in as an emergency patient and they got a slot for me that morning. I had a panicky episode on my first visit but I was given the right support to get me ready for my next visit and tooth extraction. That first evening, I had a call just to check I was doing okay which was greatly appreciated."

Frequently asked questions about dental hygiene appointments

How often should I see a hygienist?

Most patients benefit from a visit every 6 months, but your hygienist may recommend more frequent appointments if you’re prone to gum issues, have braces, or build up tartar quickly.

Will my teeth look whiter after a clean?

While a hygiene appointment isn’t the same as whitening treatment, it can help to lift stains and plaque, making your teeth look brighter and cleaner.

Is hygiene treatment painful?

Our hygienist uses a gentle, patient-led approach, so you shouldn’t feel any discomfort. You may feel a bit of sensitivity in certain areas, but we’ll work with you to ensure you feel at ease throughout your visit.

What’s the difference between a hygiene appointment and a dental check-up?

A hygiene appointment focuses on cleaning your teeth and gums to prevent issues like gum disease, while a dental check-up involves a full examination by the dentist to assess your overall oral health, including your teeth, bite, and any signs of decay or other concerns. For complete care, it’s best to have both regularly.
