Why Regular Hygiene Visits Matter

Even with the best at-home care, plaque and tartar can build up in areas your toothbrush can’t reach. Over time, this can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath—often without obvious symptoms in the early stages.

That’s why regular hygiene visits are so important. At Pinner Dental Care, our professional cleans go deeper to remove stubborn build-up, protect your gum health, and keep your mouth feeling fresh.

Routine hygiene appointments also allow us to spot early signs of potential problems—saving you time, discomfort, and more complex treatment down the line.

A small investment in prevention now means a healthier, happier smile for the future.

Scale & Polish

A Deeper Clean

A professional scale and polish is at the heart of every dental hygiene appointment. This deep cleaning treatment removes the plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can’t reach—especially around the gum line and between teeth.

At Pinner Dental Care, our hygienists use air polish to provide a gentle and precise technique to:

  • Scale – Remove hardened deposits (tartar) that can lead to gum disease

  • Polish – Smooth and shine the teeth to reduce staining and make it harder for plaque to stick

The result? A mouth that feels cleaner, looks brighter, and stays healthier. Regular scale and polish treatments are one of the most effective ways to maintain fresh breath and support long-term gum health.

Gum Disease

Gum Disease Prevention & Treatment

Gum disease is one of the most common causes of tooth loss in adults—but with early detection and the right care, it’s completely preventable and manageable. At Pinner Dental Care, we’re committed to helping you protect and maintain healthy gums through regular check-ups, professional hygiene appointments, and tailored at-home advice.

In its early stage (gingivitis), gum disease may cause red, swollen, or bleeding gums. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, a more serious condition that affects the bone supporting your teeth.

Our team provides gentle yet effective treatments to remove plaque and bacteria, reduce inflammation, and support long-term gum health. We’ll also work with you to build a daily routine that helps prevent future issues.

Orthodontic Hygiene

Hygiene for Braces & Invisalign Patients

Orthodontic treatment is a great investment in your smile—but it also means your hygiene routine needs a little extra care. Whether you’re wearing fixed braces or clear aligners like Invisalign, keeping your teeth and gums clean is essential to avoid plaque build-up, staining, and gum inflammation.

At Pinner Dental Care, we offer tailored hygiene support for patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. Our professional cleans help to:

  • Remove plaque from hard-to-reach areas around brackets or attachments

  • Prevent gum disease and tooth decay during treatment

  • Keep your breath fresh and your aligners clean

  • Ensure your smile looks its best once treatment is complete

We’ll also show you the best brushing and flossing techniques for your orthodontic setup, so you feel confident managing your care at home.
