Dental hygienists: What they do
So, what is a dental hygienist? This healthcare professional helps to keep your teeth and gums in top condition. A hygienist provides a number of deep cleaning procedures to prevent oral health issues like gum disease, gingivitis and oral cancers. These procedures include:
- Scale and polish: A routine clean of the mouth. Staying above the gum line, the process includes scraping away hardened bacteria, before the entire mouth is cleaned.
- Scaling and root planing: A much more invasive treatment, scaling and root planing removes plaque and tartar below the gum line. Local anaesthetic is required.
- Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT): Targets dental plaque and stains. Your hygienist uses a combination of warm water, air and fine powder to clean the surface of the teeth, gaps between the teeth and gum pockets.
- Laser therapy: This process is designed to remove infected tissue and bacteria, while simultaneously eliminating plaque that has built up below and around the gum line.
When you book an appointment, your friendly hygienist will give you advice as to how to keep your mouth clean at home. If they identify a problem that cannot be treated with a deep clean alone, you may be referred to another dentist for further assistance.

Can I see a dental hygienist on the NHS?
If it is deemed a clinical necessity (for example you have gum disease), you may be able to see a dental hygienist on the NHS. Your appointment will either fall under Band 1 (£27.90) or Band 2 (£76.60) depending on the condition of your oral health.
When you choose an NHS practice however there are downsides to be aware of. First of all, you will face a lengthy waiting list and limited availability, while private practices can offer appointments as soon as the same or next day. They may also have out of hours options too, meaning you don’t need to take time off of work or school.
