I recently have had composite bonding done in the Sutton branch because I didn’t like the colour, length or shape of my teeth. I can’t thank Caroline enough for spending so much time and effort in making sure that they are perfect, I couldn’t be happier with the results! All the staff are so helpful and so lovely and make you feel so comfortable, I would highly recommend Love Teeth!
Thanks Dr Emmanuel Clozza for my new implant – really pleased with the result. Dr Clozza Love Teeth Stonecot Hill is a true professional and the best dentist. Everybody at the Stonecot Hill Surgery makes you feel at ease – Ann Gardner.
Having hated my teeth all my life I decided to treat myself! I did a lot of research and Love Teeth had very good reviews and they also had local practises which made them a good choice. Prior to having porcelain veneers fitted, I saw the hygienist and also had some root canal work done. I wouldn’t say I have a phobia of dentists but I am nervous! But I needn’t have been. It was all pain free! The reception girls were all lovely too. Very friendly and they remember your name! Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Love Teeth (I attended the Sutton clinic).
After having such a great experience myself, I took my 17 year old son for a check up. Again the experience was brilliant and consistent to mine. My son can’t wait to start treatment which is lovely to see, I will definitely be moving my husband over to love teeth as well. Thank you love teeth
My father came in for a root canal treatmeant with Caroline after having a fear of the dentist perviously. My father now has no more pain and would definitely return to love teeth as the environment made him incredibly comfortable! Would highly recommend.
Manochithra was amazing sorting my root canal treatment she was so caring and persisted until my pain was sorted. I’ve been at love teeth for a few years and found them so professional yet friendly. Thank you love teeth. Tina
Had my first ever hygiene appointment with the lovely Gosha today and from the moment I walked in she made me feel so welcome and comfortable! She explained every step before she did anything and was absolutely amazing, so happy I have found a dental practice like Love Teeth dental! Honestly the nicest dental practice with the best staff. Would 100% recommend to my friends and family.
I’ve just finished my Invisalign treatment and am thrilled with the results. All the staff are friendly and polite, always ready to help with any questions. The surgery looks and smells amazing, I can not recommend Love Teeth enough! Dr KP is an absolute perfectionist and the work I have had done alongside my Invisalign (veneers, gum lasering and contouring) looks absolutely amazing. Thank you to to all 😁

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.
