Dental Hygiene
Hygiene appointments at Smilewerk are built around prevention: a periodontal check, a professional clean, and specific, personal advice for whatever we find.
What a cleaning actually covers
Every hygiene visit includes a gum health check with pocket measurements, removal of plaque and tartar above and below the gumline, and a polish.
If we spot early gum disease, we say so immediately and explain what changes at home, rather than waiting for it to show up as a bigger problem later.
Deep cleaning
When pockets are deeper than a routine clean can reach, we offer scaling and root planing over one or two sessions with local anaesthesia, then a shorter recall interval until things stabilise.

Frequently asked
Does a cleaning hurt?
A routine clean shouldn't. If gums are inflamed it can be uncomfortable, which is exactly the sign we're looking for and can usually improve within a couple of visits.
How often should I actually come in?
Twice a year for most patients, more often if you have a history of gum disease or are catching up after a long gap.
