GENTLE, PATIENT-CENTRED CARE IN THE HEART OF PLYMOUTH
Dental Hygiene
Gentle, preventive care for a healthier smile
At The Mead Dental Practice, our dental hygiene appointments are centred around prevention, comfort and long-term wellbeing.
Regular visits with our hygienists help protect the health of your teeth and gums while giving you the confidence that your oral health is being monitored with care. We create a calm, reassuring environment where you can relax, ask questions and learn how to maintain a healthy smile between visits.
State-of-the-art AirFlow treatment for an exceptionally clean & healthy smile
We’re delighted to offer AirFlow treatment as part of our advanced hygiene care. AirFlow provides a deeper, more effective clean than traditional methods—while offering far greater comfort. Using a precise blend of fine organic powder, air and warm water, our hygienists can gently lift away soft plaque deposits and stubborn surface stains without physically touching or damaging the tooth surface.
Because the treatment is non-contact and non-invasive, many patients find it soothing and comfortable, with instantly brighter, fresher results. AirFlow has also been shown to remove more bacteria than traditional cleaning methods, making it an exciting advancement in modern oral health. Incorporating AirFlow into your routine hygiene care supports healthier gums and overall wellbeing, especially as gum health is closely linked to general systemic health.
What happens during your hygiene appointment
Your visit begins with an assessment of your gum health, allowing us to identify any early signs of inflammation or gum disease. Depending on your needs, your hygienist will then provide a tailored treatment; either using AirFlow alone or combining it with traditional methods where appropriate. The appointment is designed to be gentle yet effective, helping you enjoy a cleaner, healthier smile without discomfort.
If we identify changes in your gum health, we will discuss these clearly and guide you through the most suitable treatment options. For some patients, this may include deeper periodontal cleaning or a personalised care plan to stabilise gum health. Our aim is always to support you with clear explanations and a calm, reassuring approach.
Personalised advice to protect your smile
A core part of hygiene care is learning how to look after your mouth at home. During your appointment, we take time to offer practical, personalised advice on brushing technique, interdental cleaning and lifestyle habits that may impact your gums or enamel.
Every patient is different, and our guidance is always tailored to your individual needs, from sensitivity management to caring for braces, implants or restorations.
A fresher, brighter smile
Whether you’re visiting for routine maintenance, AirFlow treatment or enhanced periodontal support, our team are committed to making every hygiene appointment comfortable, effective and uplifting. Great hygiene care is one of the most powerful steps you can take towards a cleaner, healthier, more confident smile.
