Hygiene and Airflow

What Is a Hygiene Appointment

A hygiene appointment is a professional dental cleaning carried out by a dental hygienist. During this visit, your
teeth and gums are throughly cleaned to remove plaque, tartar and surface stains that regular brushing and
flossing can’t always reach

Why Oakdale

Hygienists form an important role in keeping your teeth and gums healthy.

At Oakdale Dental, Leicester we have dental hygienists who offer a range of treatments from routine check-ups to more complex treatments for gum disease.

Why Airflow Polish?

Plaque naturally forms on your teeth, and if it isn’t removed, it can harden into tartar. Left untreated, this can lead to bad breath, cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease. Traditional scale and polish removes plaque, helps prevent bacterial buildup, and protects your gums — and Airflow Polish takes this to the next level.

Airflow Polish is a painless, professional cleaning that removes stubborn biofilm, surface stains, and plaque, giving your teeth a brighter, healthier appearance. Compared to traditional scale and polish, it is faster, gentler, and more effective, targeting biofilm more thoroughly while preserving your enamel. It is the best modern alternative for maintaining both oral health and a beautiful smile.

How It Works

Using Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), our hygienists can:
Professionally clean your teeth more effectively than traditional polishing
Remove harmful biofilm while protecting your enamel
Show you exactly where plaque accumulates for personalised oral care coaching

At your routine hygiene appointment, our hygienists will also provide advice and tips to help prevent plaque build- up and maintain your oral health between visits.

Quick and Convenient

A standard 30-minute session can make a noticeable difference. Airflow Polish is painless, highly effective, and rapidly becoming one of our most popular treatments.

Book your Airflow Polish at Oakdale Dental today and experience the next level in professional dental care.

Gingivitis

Plaque bacteria can cause inflammation of the gums, making them red, swollen, painful, and prone to bleeding.

Periodontitis?

If gingivitis is left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis. The gums pull away from the teeth, forming pockets that trap bacteria, leading to infection, inflammation, and potential tooth loss.
