At Surrey Dental Surgery we understand that oral hygiene is vital for your dental health and your overall wellbeing too. We prefer to prevent problems from occurring rather than simply fixing things when they go wrong. We recommend regular dental visits for examinations and hygiene treatments to ensure your mouth, teeth and gums remain in great condition. Children can also benefit from having their teeth polished, and we advocate maintaining good oral health habits from an early age.
Bleeding gums and other gum problems are something we take very seriously. Hygiene therapy will reduce the risk of developing several serious medical conditions linked with gum disease.
A surprising 90% of us suffer from gum disease at some point in our lives, but with carefully considered dental care, these risks can be mitigated. Our high-quality dental hygiene services help keep your mouth free from tooth decay and gum disease and can also prevent and treat bad breath.
Through a combination of our skill and care, plus your own oral hygiene efforts at home, you can ensure your teeth and gums remain in tip-top condition for life. Instead of filling decayed teeth, we believe in investing time improving your oral care routine. This approach enables all our patients to maintain a healthy, happy mouth.
Dental hygienists are specially trained to work with dentists in providing dental care to patients. They play a crucial role, primarily focused on ensuring and maintaining impeccable oral health.
Dental hygienists are vital in both clinical care and oral health promotion. Clinically, they help prevent and treat periodontal (gum) disease through professional scaling and polishing of teeth. They are also qualified to take dental radiographs and perform essential monitoring and screening procedures to support overall oral health.
Additionally, dental hygienists are permitted to apply topical fluorides and fissure sealants to reduce dental caries (tooth decay). Their role in promoting oral health includes motivating and encouraging individuals and groups in oral hygiene practices, including providing advice on oral hygiene and diet.
Regular professional cleaning, combined with motivation and advice on how to improve your dental care routine at home will produce huge dental benefits.
Research has shown that good dental health significantly reduces the risk of filling replacement, new cavities, gum recession, food trapping and teeth drifting.
Gum disease is also linked to heart disease, and concerns exist regarding poor gum health during pregnancy.

We recommend regular visits to your dental hygienist, as research indicates that a clean and healthy mouth is the simplest way to avoid expensive dental repairs.

How does AIRFLOW® clean my teeth?
AIRFLOW® works through the projection of tiny carbonated particles and water pressure combined in a high-powered jet which gently but effectively removes stains from teeth, including hard to reach areas. The AIRFLOW® Teeth Cleaning system provides incredible results without any risk of damaging your teeth. The results are immediate and the difference is noticeable as soon as the AIRFLOW® dental treatment has been completed.
Does it hurt?
Unlike the traditional scale and polish that uses dental tools to remove plaque and stains from your teeth, AIRFLOW® is a fast and non-invasive method of cleaning, it is ideal for anyone who suffers from sensitive teeth.
How long will the treatment take?
We can usually complete an AIRFLOW® clean within 30 minutes.
