Our friendly and experienced dental hygienist
Our highly skilled dental hygiene team includes Jodie Chaplin (GDC No:136300) who has over 10 years of experience and is passionate about working closely with patients in a gentle and caring manner to achieve their long term oral health goals.

Why is oral hygiene important?
The two major causes of tooth loss are periodontal disease (gum disease) and tooth decay. Dental hygiene appointments are an excellent way to learn the best ways to look after your teeth, mouth and gums to prevent these problems and to identify any issues as they arise, making them much more treatable.
Your dental hygienist will also be able to give your teeth and mouth a thorough deep clean that goes beyond the areas you can reach at home by simply brushing.

EMS (Electro Medical Systems) Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is an advanced dental treatment approach used for the efficient and thorough removal of dental plaque and biofilm (a complex community of microorganisms that can accumulate on teeth and dental restorations, leading to various dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, and bad breath)
GBT is known for its effectiveness in thoroughly removing biofilm and promoting overall oral health. It is considered a minimally invasive and patient-friendly approach, as it is comfortable and efficient. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with a history of gum disease or those who want to maintain excellent oral hygiene.
GBT involves the following key steps:
1. Assessment: The first step in GBT is to assess the patient’s oral health using advanced diagnostic tools, such as digital X-rays and intraoral cameras. This assessment helps identify areas of concern and determine the extent of biofilm buildup.
2. Dental plaque disclosure: A special disclosing solution is applied to the teeth to make the biofilm more visible. This helps the dental professional identify areas that require thorough cleaning.
3. Air polishing: GBT utilizes an air-polishing device that sprays a mixture of water, air, and a specially formulated powder onto the tooth surfaces. This high-pressure spray effectively removes biofilm, stains, and plaque from the teeth and dental restorations without causing damage to the enamel.
4. Ultrasonic scaling: An ultrasonic scaler is used to remove any remaining deposits and calculus (hardened plaque) from the teeth. The ultrasonic scaler uses high-frequency vibrations to break down and remove these deposits.
5. Subgingival debridement (if necessary): For patients with gum disease or deeper biofilm pockets, the dental professional may perform subgingival debridement using specialised instruments to clean below the gum line.
Airflow is a simple, effective way to gently polish away stains on the teeth without changing the base colour (those looking for a whiter, deeper colour change may like to consider our teeth whitening.)
The Airflow is a huge step in preventing and treating gum disease. It’s also an excellent option for our patients who suffer from dental anxiety, as the Airflow System is quick, painless and soundless.
During treatment, your expert clinician will use a jet that combines air, water and bicarbonate particles on the surface of the teeth. It takes about 45 minutes and no anaesthetic is required as the process is pain-free.
How often you may require this treatment depends on different factors, such as what you like to eat and drink, how well you look after your teeth at home and whether you are a smoker. We will be able to discuss this with you and advise you on the best treatment plan to help you have a beautiful smile you can be proud of.

To achieve and maintain a beautiful smile, you will need to combine good, personal oral habits with regular dental hygiene treatments. These treatments are designed to keep your teeth looking and feeling clean, prevent the development of dental problems, and solve bad breath issues.
It’s generally recommended to visit a dental hygienist every six months, but the frequency may vary depending on your individual oral health needs. Your dentist or hygienist can advise you on the ideal schedule.
Most people find a scale and polish treatment comfortable, but you might experience mild sensitivity during the procedure. Our dental hygienist use gentle techniques to minimise discomfort and can offer advice if you have sensitive teeth.
Your dental hygiene treatment will include a scale and polish procedure to keep your teeth clean and bright. Scaling involves the removal of tartar and plaque deposits that may have accumulated on the surface of your teeth and in the spaces between teeth, particularly along the gum line.
These tartar and plaque deposits cannot be removed through regular tooth brushing alone and require professional dental cleaning. If left untreated, these deposits can lead to dental issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. After scaling, your teeth are polished to remove any remaining stains and to smooth the tooth surfaces, giving your smile a cleaner, brighter, and more attractive appearance.
