London, England – January 08, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
The Gardens Dental Centre (Smile 4 U) has announced the availability of consultation appointments for new private patients interested in dental hygiene treatments. The update reflects the practice’s provision of preventive dental care for individuals seeking to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Appointments have been opened for those wishing to arrange visits with the dental hygienist team in the East Dulwich area.
Dental hygiene appointments involve professional cleaning of teeth to prevent oral health problems such as gum disease and tooth decay. The treatment focuses on removing plaque and tartar buildup that accumulates on tooth surfaces and beneath the gum line, which regular brushing and flossing at home cannot fully eliminate. According to the announcement, dental hygienists use specialised instruments to clean hard-to-reach areas and address deposits that have hardened over time. These appointments form an important part of maintaining oral health and can help identify early signs of dental problems before they develop into more serious conditions.
The practice noted that plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms constantly on teeth throughout the day. When plaque isn’t removed promptly, it hardens into tartar, which can only be eliminated by a dental professional. Tartar buildup causes gum irritation, leading to inflammation, bleeding, and potentially periodontal disease if left untreated. Regular hygiene appointments help manage these issues and support the overall health of teeth and gums. How often patients need appointments varies depending on individual circumstances, with some people requiring visits every three months while others attend every six months.
The Gardens Dental Centre (Smile 4 U) has confirmed that dental hygiene appointments may include air polishing treatment where suitable. Air polishing combines compressed air, water, and fine powder particles to remove surface stains and plaque from teeth. The method works particularly well for cleaning between teeth and around existing dental work such as crowns or fillings. Air polishing can restore the natural colour of teeth by removing staining caused by tea, coffee, red wine, and smoking.

Consultations at The Gardens Dental Centre (Smile 4 U) begin with an examination of the patient’s teeth and gums. The dental hygienist looks for signs of gum disease, plaque accumulation, and any areas of bleeding or inflammation. Patients discuss their current oral care habits, including brushing and flossing frequency and any challenges they face with maintaining their routine at home. The hygienist offers tailored advice on techniques that could improve cleaning effectiveness and may suggest specific products that address particular concerns.
During the appointment, patients can ask questions about their oral health and learn what steps they can take between visits to keep their teeth and gums healthy. The hygienist explains the cleaning process and what to expect during treatment. For patients who feel anxious about dental visits, the team ensures they feel comfortable and can communicate any concerns throughout the procedure. Dental hygiene appointments often include guidance on lifestyle factors that affect oral health. The hygienist may discuss how diet, particularly sugar intake, influences tooth decay development. Practical advice is given on changes that can reduce the risk of future dental problems.

According to the release, the availability of dental hygiene consultations reflects the practice’s focus on preventive care that helps patients avoid more complex dental issues.
