A bright, healthy smile starts with great hygiene — and at High Street Dental Practice in Cambridge, we’re here to help you maintain it. Our expert dental hygiene services go beyond brushing and flossing at home, providing the professional care you need to keep your teeth and gums in top condition. 

Whether you’re looking to prevent gum disease, freshen your breath, or keep your smile looking its best, our friendly and experienced hygiene team is here for you. 

Why Is Dental Hygiene So Important? 

Dental hygiene is about more than just clean teeth — it’s the foundation of good oral health. Regular hygiene visits help to: 

• Remove plaque and tartar buildup 

• Prevent gum disease and tooth decay 

• Reduce the risk of bad breath (halitosis) 

• Brighten your natural smile 

• Protect overall health (gum disease has links to heart disease and diabetes) 

Even the most thorough home routines can’t remove hardened plaque (calculus) the way a professional hygiene appointment can. 

Dental Hygiene Services at High Street Dental Practice 

At our Cambridge dental clinic, we offer comprehensive hygiene appointments that are gentle, effective, and tailored to your needs. Our hygiene services include: 

• Scale and polish treatments to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains 

• Gum disease screening and management 

• Oral hygiene advice and personalised cleaning routines 

• Air polishing (where available) for a deeper clean and a brighter finish 

We work closely with our dentists in Cambridge and hygienists to ensure your treatment plan supports long-term oral health. 

Preventative Dental Care in Cambridge 

High Street Dental Practice is proud to take a preventative approach to dentistry, helping you avoid problems before they start. Regular hygiene appointments combined with routine dental check-ups are key to: 

• Early detection of dental issues 

• Lowering treatment costs in the long term 

• Maintaining a confident, healthy smile 

We recommend hygiene appointments every 6 months, or more frequently if you have a history of gum disease or wear braces.
