A Healthier Smile
Starts at the Gums.
Professional teeth cleaning and personalised gum care to help remove plaque and tartar, support gum health and keep your smile feeling fresh.
Dental Cleaning & Gum Treatments
From routine preventive cleaning to treatment for gum disease, your care is based on your oral health and clinical findings.
Professional Scaling
Removal of hardened tartar and plaque deposits from tooth surfaces and along the gumline using appropriate dental instruments.
Teeth Polishing
When appropriate, polishing helps remove selected surface stains and leaves teeth feeling smoother after cleaning.
Gum Health Assessment
Evaluation of gum colour, bleeding, recession, pocketing and other signs that may indicate inflammation or periodontal disease.
Gingivitis Care
Professional plaque and tartar removal plus home-care guidance to help manage early gum inflammation.
Deep Cleaning
Scaling and root planing may be recommended for periodontitis to clean affected areas below the gumline.
Periodontal Maintenance
Ongoing review and professional cleaning at intervals tailored to your gum condition and risk of disease progression.
Bleeding Gums Evaluation
Assessment of bleeding during brushing or eating to identify possible gum inflammation and other contributing causes.
Bad Breath Assessment
Evaluation of possible oral causes of persistent bad breath, including plaque accumulation, gum disease and tongue coating.
Preventive Oral Care
Practical advice on brushing technique, interdental cleaning, fluoride toothpaste and habits that support healthy gums.
Healthy Gums Are the Foundation of Your Smile
Gum disease can begin quietly. Early signs may include redness, tenderness or bleeding when brushing. More advanced disease can affect the tissues and bone supporting your teeth.
- ✓Identify plaque and tartar that cannot be removed by routine brushing alone.
- ✓Recognise signs of gingivitis and possible periodontitis.
- ✓Receive a cleaning and maintenance plan suited to your needs.
- ✓Learn practical ways to improve daily plaque control at home.
Routine Cleaning or Deep Cleaning?
The right treatment depends on whether deposits are above the gumline or whether periodontal disease has affected deeper supporting tissues.
Routine Scaling & Cleaning
Removes plaque and tartar from accessible tooth surfaces and around the gumline. Polishing may be included when appropriate.
Gingivitis Management
Targets gum inflammation with professional cleaning, improved home plaque control and review of gum response.
Periodontal Deep Cleaning
Scaling and root planing cleans below the gumline in affected areas when periodontitis is diagnosed. Follow-up is important.
What to Expect at Your Cleaning Appointment
A straightforward process, with time to understand your oral health and ask questions.
Examination
We discuss your concerns, medical history and oral hygiene routine, then assess teeth and gums.
Personalised Plan
We explain whether routine cleaning, periodontal assessment or another treatment is appropriate.

Home Care & Review
You receive tailored brushing and interdental-cleaning advice, with follow-up based on your gum health.
Simple Habits for Healthier Gums
Professional cleaning works best when supported by consistent home care. Small daily habits help control plaque between dental visits.
- ✓Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush.
- ✓Clean between teeth daily with suitable interdental brushes or floss.
- ✓Brush gently along the gumline rather than scrubbing aggressively.
- ✓Avoid tobacco and seek advice for persistent bleeding or bad breath.
- ✓Attend check-ups and maintenance visits at the interval recommended for you.
When Should You Seek Dental Advice?
Arrange an assessment for recurring gum bleeding, persistent bad breath, tender or swollen gums, gum recession, loose teeth or changes in how your teeth fit together.
Urgent care: Facial or neck swelling with difficulty breathing or swallowing requires immediate emergency medical attention. Do not wait for a routine appointment.
