What is a dental hygienist?

A dental hygienist is a qualified professional who has experience in cleaning teeth, removing plaque and tartar, and educating patients on proper oral hygiene.

They work alongside dentists to prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath. During a hygiene appointment at Eye and Dental Clinic, your dental hygienist will examine your gums and teeth, perform professional cleaning, and provide personalised guidance on brushing, flossing, and diet to maintain oral health. Hygiene appointments are preventative, painless, and tailored to each patient’s needs.

What is a dental hygienist?

Benefits and suitability of dental hygiene

Dental hygiene care benefits almost all adults.

It helps prevent gingivitis, reduces the risk of periodontitis, and improves breath and overall oral comfort. Patients with sensitive teeth, dental restorations, or a history of gum disease may benefit from more frequent appointments. Treatments are safe, gentle, and typically do not require anaesthesia. At Eye and Dental Clinic, the focus is on patient comfort and achieving long-lasting oral health.

Benefits and suitability of dental hygiene

The dental hygiene treatment process

  • Assessment: Your hygienist evaluates teeth and gums for plaque, tartar, and early signs of gum disease.
  • Cleaning: Plaque and tartar are carefully removed from teeth and along the gum line.
  • Polishing: Teeth are polished to remove surface stains and leave them smooth.
  • Oral care guidance: Personalised advice on brushing, flossing, and preventative techniques is provided.

This structured process ensures that dental hygienists in Bury appointments maintain oral health while providing a comfortable experience.

Aftercare and next steps

Following your hygiene visit, maintaining daily brushing and flossing is essential. Avoid excessive sugary foods and drinks and attend regular check-ups to support long-term oral health.

Had a deep clean today with Alla and Rachel, which was great, they were very gentle and even fixed a stubborn stain between my teeth, which they noticed during the treatment! They supported me through the whole process and talked me through everything they were doing, which was extremely reassuring! Teeth are looking and feeling better than ever. Would definitely recommend!

Great service all around. Dr Uddin was knowledgeable, kind and put me at ease when having a chalazion removed. He helped me a lot with follow-up care for blepharitis, taking the time to show me how to clean my eyes properly. Michelle at the reception was also very friendly and helpful. Thank you again!

If I could give more than 5 stars for Mr J Uddin, I would. The reception staff were really polite and helpful. I had my chalazion removal surgery 2 months ago, and I was really worried and scared about the whole procedure since it involved a delicate area. Mr J Uddin is a very experienced ophthalmologist, and if you need to have the same surgery as I did, you’ll be in safe hands. It’s really good to see hcp’s going above and beyond for their patients. I really valued the knowledge that he shared with me, and I learnt a lot about my condition. I was actually meant to go to a different clinic before, but I’m so glad I found out about this clinic. I really hope I won’t need another chalazion removal surgery in my lifetime again, but if I ever did, I would 100% come back to this clinic.

Very satisfying. Dr J. Uddin removed a cyst on my upper lid. He explained everything to me before and during the procedure, and he has a very calming appearance. The cyst removal was successful ,and it healed so well that you can’t see a mark/scar at all. Thank you so much!

I had a great experience here over multiple appointments. I was very nervous beforehand, but Imran (my dentist) helped me stay calm during each visit and explained everything clearly, which really put me at ease. Georgia and Matthew at reception were really friendly and welcoming, and the dental nurses were also lovely — everyone I interacted with across all visits was kind and professional.

All of my appointments went smoothly, and I’m really happy with the end result. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reassuring dental team!

I had a Chalazion removal with Mr Uddin. Fantastic results two months down the line, you’d never know I had it, and he made me feel so relaxed and at ease during the procedure, which was relatively pain-free! Thank you so much!

I’ve never been a fan of the dentist, but Imran and all the team have always been professional, friendly and approachable. I’m now no longer scared of going to the dentist as I trust the helpful advice, care, after care they have given me, and nothing is too much trouble. I have since recommended Eye & Dental Clinic to my friends and family, and they, too, have had a great experience. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to look after my dental needs.

Can’t thank Imran and the team enough. From the first meeting to the day getting my bonding done has been fantastic. Everything has been really well explained and clear throughout each step. On the day Imran stayed till well after closing to get my teeth how I wanted, which was greatly appreciated. Absolutely thrilled and would recommend to anyone.

I visited the clinic as my friend recommended Dr Imran. I was very impressed by the welcome I received and the assessment before I saw the dentist. Dr Imran spent a lot of time explaining my condition and advising on the best treatment options. I felt very comfortable, relaxed and reassured after my first visit.

Booked my checkup during the black Friday sale. Check up with the dentist was great. Had a follow-up appointment for a scale and polish procedure, which was conducted by Arla and Rachel, and was 10/10.
