Southwell Dental Care
Experience
Our private hygiene treatments focus on both comfort and results. We remove stubborn plaque, tartar, and stains while monitoring your gum health closely. Some patients need more frequent visits, others less — we tailor your care based on what’s right for you.
Precision & Care
Unlike a quick NHS “scale and polish,” our hygiene appointments provide deeper cleaning using advanced ultrasonic equipment and gentle hand scaling. We take time to reach areas brushing can’t, helping you achieve healthier gums and lasting freshness.
Your needs
Hygiene care helps manage bleeding gums, plaque build-up, bad breath, gum disease, and surface staining. We’ll recommend how often to visit depending on your gum condition and oral health goals.
