Fresher breath and a healthy mouth start here
Visit your hygienist regularly to look after your oral health and keep your teeth sparkling
Why do you need to visit the hygienist?
Your hygienist is your teeth and gums’ best friend.
Regular visits help prevent gum disease, freshen up your breath, and give your smile that extra sparkle. Plus, they’ll save you hassle (and money) by catching potential dental issues early.

Dr Michael Goodman
Dr Michaeal Goodman believes that healthy gums lead to a healthy body. With a special interest and qualifications in periodontics (conditions affecting the gums and jawbone), he brings a holistic approach to his work to achieve the best possible results.
If you’re looking for a dentist who prioritises patient care and delivers exceptional results, Sheffield Smiles and Dr. Raggi are the perfect choice. I’m thrilled with my smile transformation!
What happens during a hygienist appointment?
Your hygienist will begin by examining your teeth and gums to look for any potential problems, before giving them a deep clean.
This professional cleaning is designed to get rid of any plaque and tartar build-up that your daily brushing won’t be able to shift.
Once you’re squeaky clean, they’ll share tips to keep your mouth in tip-top condition, like how to floss better or which products suit you best.
Tools we use to keep your smile fresh
We use the latest dental technology to ensure your check-ups are as effective and comfortable as possible:
- Digital X-rays for clear and precise imaging of your teeth and jaw
- Intraoral cameras show you what we see, helping you better understand your oral health
- 3D scanning for accurate impressions and monitoring of changes over time
- Personalised video treatment plans that you can revisit anytime
Your hygiene treatment journey
Initial dental check-up
Join your hygienist for a full dental examination of your teeth and gums. This comprehensive check is designed to spot any potential future problems so you can head them off early.
Getting you squeaky clean
Your hygienist will then use special tools to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth. This includes scaling (removing hardened plaque) and polishing for a smoother, cleaner tooth surface. Then, they’ll floss between your teeth.
Keeping your mouth clean in the long term
During your appointment, your hygienist will give you personalised advice on keeping your teeth and gums in the best possible shape. For excellent oral health, we’d recommend you visit the hygienist at least once a year to fight plaque buildup and bacteria, alongside at least two routine trips to your dentist.
