Our Hygienists in London Create, Smoother, Cleaner, Healthier Teeth.
Possibly, the biggest part of any dental health care routine is dental hygiene.
Our dental hygienist’s job is to spot the signs of conditions like gum disease and decay to take the necessary steps to prevent any further, or unnecessary damage from occurring.
Under our preventative care, we’ll help to ensure your mouth remains a safe and healthy place and also help you to understand and know the most effective ways to keep your teeth plaque-free.
There’s no way you can avoid plaque, but together, we can fight it.
If we don’t, it can lead to gum disease, which can shrink your gums and even cause you to lose your teeth.
Seeing as the main two major causes of tooth loss are tooth decay and gum disease, it would make perfect sense to visit a hygienist regularly. With good dental hygiene, you can avoid these conditions and protect your oral health for years to come.
The Preventative Approach
When it comes to the health of your teeth and gums, prevention is always better than cure, and at least twice-yearly dental check-ups with Aqua Dental Clinic are recommended.
While at-home oral hygiene habits are crucial, even the most careful of routines can see problems arise from time to time.
Dr Neera Maini uses state-of-the-art technology to spot dental issues which may be hard to spot at home – treating them well before they become a problem.
Aqua Dental Clinic uses state-of-the-art facilities, including magnifying cameras to show the teeth and gums from every angle on a large computer screen.
An oral cancer screening is part of each routine check-up.
Dental therapists and hygienists provide a scale and polish treatment to leave your teeth completely clean – even below the gum line where your toothbrush doesn’t reach.
They also offer a range of preventative treatments to keep your teeth healthy and strong.
Our dental hygienists are specially trained to look after the health of our patient’s teeth and gums.
They use the very latest dental technology to clean and polish, removing any build-up of tartar or plaque left behind after flossing and brushing.

Prophyflex Power Clean
Patients often can’t believe how smooth and clean their teeth feel after experiencing Aqua Dental Clinic’s high-tech Prophyflex cleaning system.
The power cleaner fires a concentrated stream of compressed air, water, and tiny sodium bicarbonate particles to remove debris and polish teeth simultaneously.
Minor stains can also be removed, leaving teeth cleaner and brighter.
Our hygienists are also keen to offer hints and tips on maintaining oral health at home.
Nothing should stop you from treating dental problems as quickly as possible to prevent issues from developing – ignoring only results in more problems, more pain and more money spent. That’s why we’ve taken great care to create an environment that makes you feel fantastic from the moment you step through the door.
So, if you’ve always been anxious about visiting the dentist, it’s time to think again.
In the care of Dr Neera Maini, a visit is no longer a stressful ordeal. Dr Neera Maini is a phobia-certified practitioner with more than 20 years of experience. The reality is probably more pleasant than you could ever imagine.
Types of hygienist cleaning
- Standard clean: Leaves teeth cleaner, and prevents gum disease and loss of teeth.
- “AirFlow” Premium Clean: Leads to healthier gums, reduces bleeding gums and removes stains, leaving teeth brighter and whiter.
- What Is AirFlow Stain Removal: Using a jet of compressed air, water and particles of bicarbonate, we can use AirFlow to polish the teeth gently and remove any surface stains. It’s a method preferred by patients with severe staining, smokers or those who suffer from darker teeth genetically. Stains from tobacco, tea, coffee, curry and wine can all be eradicated.
At Aqua Dental Clinic, you can now make an appointment with our dental hygienist without needing a prior dental check-up or examination.
It means you can come along for a hygiene treatment even if you haven’t registered with our dentist.
If you have any questions or would like to book a direct hygiene appointment, please contact Aqua Dental Clinic for more information.

How often should you visit a dental hygienist?
We understand that most of our patients are very busy people with their own lives, and most of the time, visiting the dentist for a simple hygiene appointment seems to be the last priority.
However, sparing 30 minutes every few months can significantly affect your oral condition and health.
Our dentists recommend that you visit hygienists for a thorough clean before progressing with other dental treatments like implants or veneers.
However, we would recommend seeing us every three months or so for general check-ups.
The problem with plaque
When plaque solidifies, it turns to tartar, and removal requires the use of specialist hygiene equipment. Our hygienists are trained to eliminate tartar and ensure your teeth are clean both above and below the gum line.
Bacteria found in plaque produce acids after eating and drinking, and these acids are known to destroy tooth enamel and cause problems like gingivitis and cavities.
If not safely removed, the danger is that plaque can develop under the gums on the tooth roots and start to break down the vital bone structure that supports teeth.
If left untreated, plaque will harden and turn into tough-to-remove tartar, encouraging gums to pull away from teeth leaving black triangular pockets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of visiting a hygienist?
Visiting the hygienist on a regular basis is an essential part of maintaining good oral health. A qualified dental hygienist can provide a range of treatments to help keep your teeth and gums healthy. By having your plaque and tartar professionally removed, you can avoid the build-up of bacteria in hard-to-reach places which can cause cavities, gum disease and other conditions.
In addition to removing plaque and tartar, your hygienist can also brighten up your smile with scaling and polishing techniques. Plus, they can give you tailored advice on how to look after your teeth properly at home with the right diet and regime for maintaining good oral hygiene. By visiting a hygienist regularly you can ensure that your teeth remain healthy, clean and free from decay or disease.
How often should I visit a hygienist?
The frequency of dental hygiene visits is based on individual needs and can vary from every 3 to 12 months. Discussing your unique oral health needs with your dentist or hygienist is important. If you have good oral health, preventive visits may be as infrequent as once a year. However, if you are prone to cavities or gum disease, more frequent cleanings may be recommended.
What should I expect when visiting a hygienist?
Your visit to the dental hygienist will usually start with an examination of your teeth and gums, followed by a professional cleaning. During the cleaning, your hygienist will use special tools to remove plaque and tartar that has built up on your teeth. This can help reduce the risk of decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. After the cleaning, your hygienist may also polish your teeth and provide you with advice on how to keep your mouth healthy at home.
