Hygiene & air polishing
Scale, polish and Aquacare Airflow stain removal — gentle professional cleaning with laser-assisted hygiene where it helps.
Hygiene at a glance
At This Is It Dental, your hygiene visit is tailored to your gums and stain level — with fees clear before we start and recall intervals agreed at the end.
Regular hygiene keeps gums healthy and removes stain and tartar your brush cannot reach — reducing inflammation and protecting teeth long term.
Aquacare Airflow uses a fine stream of water and powder to lift stubborn staining without harsh scraping on enamel — ideal for tea, coffee and wine discolouration.

Your hygiene journey
A hygiene appointment usually takes 30 or 60 minutes — one visit covering assessment, cleaning and personalised home care advice.

Every six months for most people; we advise more often if needed.
Can I book without seeing a dentist?
