Hygiene appointments are a foundation of preventive dental care. At McIntyre, Corbet & Associates, these visits go far beyond a simple clean; they are essential for protecting your teeth and gums from plaque build-up, gum disease, and long-term damage. Our skilled dental hygienists carry out a thorough scale and polish to remove tartar, plaque, and surface staining, leaving your teeth cleaner, your breath fresher, and your mouth healthier.

Each appointment also includes gum health checks and tailored oral hygiene advice to help you maintain excellent care at home. For children, hygiene visits are especially valuable. Not only do they keep young smiles clean and protected, but they also introduce the building blocks of lifelong dental habits in a supportive and encouraging way.

You can visit our dental hygienist at any point, or you can join our accessible Maintenance Plan and receive two hygiene appointments a year ensuring ongoing protection and personalised care that supports your smile for life.

Our dental plan also includes regular twice-yearly comprehensive examinations, oral cancer screening as standard, gum health assessments, and any necessary X-rays—all fully covered. We strongly encourage all our patients to join the plan to ensure consistent, high-quality care and peace of mind. As a bonus, children under 18 are seen free of charge on the NHS if their parent or guardian is a member, keeping the whole family protected, supported, and smiling confidently!
