Beaut practice and welcoming staff! Had a couple composite fillings with Dr Deryn and couldn’t be happier. I’m usually anxious when visiting the dentist but Deryn and Natascha made my experience feel relaxed and comfortable. Staff at front desk are lovely and put me at ease from the get go – thank you Tracey, Eloise and Colette for your support ❤️
I was most impressed when I arrived with everyone at reception being so helpful and welcoming. My appointment was on time and went straight to the room greeted by two staff. Dr. Mina and another had very constructive advice by her on my teeth and course of procedures to action upon. I left feeling assured of the care I would have on my next visit to Love Teeth at Cheam
A really lovely and welcoming environment and staff were super patient with my toddler. They made the experience very fun for him.
My daughter had her first Teen Facial at Love Skin, and it’s made a world of difference. Her breakouts are already clearing up, and her skin looks calmer and less oily. The therapist was so gentle and made her feel completely comfortable. It’s great to see her feeling more confident about her skin. Thank you to Abbey and Love Skin!
So far my experience with Love Teeth Chessington has been fantastic. Megna is warm and professional, she really listened to what I want to achieve and pieced together a bespoke dental plan for me. After focusing on the health of my teeth, I’m now 8 weeks into my Invisalign journey. The support from the team on the phone has also been seamless! Would definitely recommend.
Wonderful wonderful wonderful! I am so impressed with the incredibly kind, professional staff at this amazing practice.We booked in for a check up and was absolutely delighted when we went in to find a child-centric, relaxed atmosphere where my son felt comfortable. The theming of the waiting room is fantastic, and makes a trip to the dentist an exciting experience for a child, rather than a dreaded one, he even looked forward to returning for his filling! Cannot recommend this place enough, definitely a win for Love Teeth.
Had a filling done today by the lovely Rohan and Debi. Was a quick and easy process. They talked me through everything letting me know what was going on, and kept making sure I was okay throughout. Couldn’t ask for a better service, both of them were amazing. Thank you x
Absolutely fantastic dentist! As a very nervous patient that suffers badly with anxiety due to health problems I have stayed away from dentists for years, Megna is very calming and professional she has made me feel very relaxed, confident and comfortable about having work done, always checking to see if I’m ok whilst working and always telling me what she is doing. I am no longer nervous and am very happy with the work that’s been done. I would 100% recommend Megna and Love teeth Chessington , the reception staff are always very kind and helpful too! I am very grateful to them all. The whole experience has been brilliant. Thank you

What happens during a hygiene appointment?
Your hygiene appointment at Love Teeth is more than just a clean – it’s a comprehensive approach to preventing dental problems before they start. Our experienced hygienist will assess your gum health, checking for signs of inflammation or gum disease. We’ll professionally remove plaque and calculus (tartar) that you can’t remove at home with brushing alone. Using our advanced Prophyflex airflow system, we’ll eliminate stubborn staining from tea, coffee, red wine and tobacco. Finally, we’ll provide personalised advice on your brushing and flossing technique, tailored to your specific needs.
Each appointment typically takes 30-45 minutes and leaves your mouth feeling incredibly fresh and clean. Our hygienist works closely with our dentists across all our Surrey locations to ensure you receive coordinated, comprehensive care.
Why regular hygiene appointments matter
Many patients wonder if hygiene appointments are really necessary if they brush twice daily. The answer is yes – and here’s why. Even with excellent home care, plaque accumulates in hard-to-reach areas and hardens into calculus within 48 hours. This calculus cannot be removed by brushing and provides a perfect environment for bacteria that cause gum disease and tooth decay.
Regular professional cleaning prevents small issues from becoming serious problems. Catching gum disease at the gingivitis stage means it’s completely reversible. Left untreated, it progresses to periodontitis, which causes permanent damage to the bone supporting your teeth. Professional hygiene appointments are your best defence against tooth decay, gum disease, bad breath and even tooth loss.
Can a hygienist appointment really prevent tooth decay and gum disease?
Most patients benefit from appointments every six months, though some may need more frequent visits depending on their individual risk factors.
Signs you need to see a hygienist
Healthy gums shouldn’t bleed. If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s time to book a hygiene appointment: bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, red, swollen or tender gums, persistent bad breath that doesn’t improve with brushing, receding gums that make your teeth appear longer, or visible buildup of yellow or brown deposits on your teeth.
These symptoms often indicate gingivitis – the early stage of gum disease. The good news? With professional cleaning and improved home care, gingivitis is completely reversible. Ignoring these signs allows the condition to progress into more serious gum disease that can lead to tooth loss.
Bleeding gums? Here’s what your body is trying to tell you
Don’t wait until you have pain or obvious problems. Regular hygiene appointments across our Sutton, Cheam, Worcester Park, New Malden, Chessington and Stonecot practices keep your gums healthy and your smile bright.
Frequently asked questions about dental hygiene in Surrey
How often should I see the hygienist?
For most people, we recommend a hygiene appointment every six months to remove tartar and keep gums healthy. If you’re prone to gum problems or heavy staining, more frequent visits may be advised.
What happens during a hygiene appointment?
Our hygienists use tools like the Prophyflex airflow cleaner to gently remove tartar, plaque, and stains, leaving your teeth feeling fresh and super clean.
What is Prophyflex, and how does it help?
It’s an airflow-based cleaning system that combines air, water, and fine particles to gently lift away stains and plaque in minutes, leaving your mouth feeling beyond clean.
How do I maintain clean teeth between visits?
Brush twice daily (ideally with a soft-bristled or electric brush), floss daily, and stay consistent with routine visits for lasting freshness and gum health.
Do hygiene appointments hurt?
Modern hygiene appointments at Love Teeth are gentle and shouldn’t cause pain. If your gums are inflamed or you have significant buildup, you may feel some sensitivity during cleaning, but most patients describe it as minor discomfort rather than pain. Our hygienist takes a considerate approach, working at your pace to ensure you’re comfortable throughout. If you have particularly sensitive areas or feel anxious, let us know – we can adjust our technique or use numbing gel if needed.
How much do hygiene appointments cost?
Hygiene appointment costs vary depending on the extent of cleaning required. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden costs – you’ll know exactly what to expect before your appointment. Many patients find our membership plans offer excellent value, as they include regular hygiene appointments for a manageable monthly fee, making budgeting easier. Call us on 020 8337 0629 or book online for pricing specific to your needs.
What’s the difference between a hygienist and a dentist?
Both are essential for your oral health, but they have different roles. Dentists diagnose and treat dental problems like cavities, perform restorations, and oversee your overall oral health. Hygienists specialise in preventive care, focusing on professional cleaning, gum health assessment, and education about home care techniques. At Love Teeth, our hygienist works closely with our dentists to provide comprehensive, coordinated care across all our Surrey practices.
Will my teeth be whiter after a hygiene appointment?
While hygiene appointments aren’t the same as professional teeth whitening, you’ll likely notice your teeth look brighter and feel smoother. Our Prophyflex airflow system is particularly effective at removing surface stains from tea, coffee, red wine and tobacco. This reveals your teeth’s natural colour, which many patients find noticeably brighter. For more dramatic whitening results, ask about our professional teeth whitening treatments during your hygiene appointment.
Can children see a hygienist?
Absolutely! Establishing good oral hygiene habits early is crucial for lifelong dental health. We welcome children at all our Surrey locations and recommend they start seeing a hygienist from around age 2-3, or when they have most of their baby teeth. Our hygienist is experienced with children and makes appointments fun and educational, teaching proper brushing and flossing techniques in an age-appropriate way. Early hygiene visits help prevent cavities and establish positive associations with dental care.
I have dental anxiety – can you help?
Yes, we absolutely can. Many of our patients feel nervous about dental appointments, and our hygienist is experienced in working with anxious patients. We take time to explain everything before we do it, work at your pace, and never rush you. Let us know about your anxiety when booking – we can schedule extra time and ensure you see a team member who specialises in nervous patients. Our gentle approach and calming environment have helped many anxious patients become comfortable with regular hygiene care.
