Dental Hygiene FAQs

Do you accept new patients for dental hygiene?

Yes. Trafalgar House Dental Practice welcomes new patients looking for professional dental hygiene care in Truro. Please contact our team and we’ll help you arrange the most appropriate appointment for your needs.

How often should I see a dental hygienist?

How often you should see a dental hygienist depends on your individual oral health and risk of gum disease. Some patients benefit from more frequent hygiene appointments, while others may need routine visits less often. Your dentist or hygienist can recommend an interval based on the health of your teeth and gums.

What happens during a dental hygiene appointment?

Your hygienist will assess your teeth and gums and professionally remove plaque and tartar from areas that can be difficult to clean at home. Your appointment may also include EMS Airflow to remove biofilm and surface staining, along with personalised advice on brushing and interdental cleaning.

What is EMS Airflow?

EMS Airflow is a professional cleaning system that uses a controlled combination of warm water, air and fine powder to gently remove biofilm, plaque and surface staining. It can be particularly useful for cleaning difficult-to-reach areas and around dental restorations and orthodontic appliances.

Is EMS Airflow suitable for sensitive teeth?

EMS Airflow is designed to provide a gentle and comfortable cleaning experience and uses warm water, which can be helpful for patients who experience sensitivity during professional cleaning. Your hygienist can assess your individual needs and adapt your treatment where appropriate.

Can a dental hygienist help with bleeding gums?

Yes. Bleeding gums are often associated with inflammation caused by plaque accumulating around the gumline. Professional hygiene care can help remove plaque and tartar, while your hygienist can also advise you on improving your brushing and interdental cleaning at home. Persistent bleeding should be assessed to determine the underlying cause.

How much does a dental hygiene appointment cost?

Dental hygiene appointments at Trafalgar House Dental Practice start from £108. The treatment recommended will depend on your individual oral health and hygiene needs.

What is the difference between a scale and polish and EMS Airflow?

A traditional scale and polish removes plaque and tartar from the teeth using professional dental instruments, followed by polishing to help smooth and clean the tooth surfaces. EMS Airflow uses warm water, air and fine powder to gently remove biofilm and surface staining. Your hygienist will recommend the most appropriate cleaning methods for your individual needs.
