A child’s hygiene appointment follows a similar structure to an adult routine visit, but is adapted to meet the needs of younger patients.

During the appointment we will:

• Review and discuss the child’s medical, social, and dental history
• Carry out gum disease screening appropriate for their age
• Gently remove soft and hard plaque (biofilm and calculus) deposits using ultrasonic and hand instrumentation
• Provide age-appropriate oral hygiene instruction to encourage effective daily care
• The treatment is concluded with a professional polish for a smooth, clean finish
