Hygienist

At Hope Park Dental Practice in Edinburgh, the hygienist helps with preventative oral health, including maintaining a healthy mouth, establishing good cleaning techniques at home, and treating gum disease to help achieve stable oral health.

For gum concerns, their care may include assessing the gums, helping you with plaque removal techniques at home, discussing lifestyle changes, and carrying out scaling to remove plaque deposits from the teeth and, if required, down the root surfaces. Hope Park’s hygienists offer direct access, so you can book oral health advice and gum treatment without seeing a dentist first.
