A More Advanced Approach to Dental Hygiene
The Dental Article Difference
Professional dental hygiene helps remove plaque, tartar and harmful biofilm that everyday brushing can miss, supporting healthier teeth and gums and helping to prevent gum disease.
At The Dental Article, we use EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy and AIRFLOW® technology to make professional cleaning more precise and comfortable. AIRFLOW® uses a controlled combination of warm water, air and fine powder to gently remove biofilm and surface staining from the teeth.
Professional Dental Hygiene
Your hygienist will assess your teeth and gums before professionally removing plaque, tartar and biofilm, with advice tailored to maintaining your oral health between appointments.
Gentle & Comfortable
Warm water and AIRFLOW® technology provide a gentler cleaning experience with less reliance on traditional scraping, making it particularly suitable for patients with sensitive teeth.
Precise Cleaning
Biofilm is made visible before cleaning, allowing your hygienist to identify and target the areas that need attention rather than cleaning without being able to see where biofilm remains.
Ideal for Dental Work
The controlled approach makes Guided Biofilm Therapy particularly useful for maintaining dental implants, veneers, crowns and Invisalign treatment while protecting the surrounding teeth and gums.

Hygiene FAQ
Who should see a dental hygienist?
Regular dental hygiene appointments are beneficial for almost everyone, whether your teeth and gums currently feel healthy or you have specific concerns such as bleeding gums, plaque build-up, staining or bad breath.
Professional hygiene treatment helps remove plaque, biofilm and deposits that can be difficult to manage through brushing and flossing alone. Regular visits can help reduce your risk of gum disease and tooth decay while keeping your teeth and gums feeling clean and healthy.
At The Dental Article, we’ll recommend a hygiene and maintenance routine based on your individual oral health needs.
What does a dental hygienist do?
A dental hygienist focuses primarily on preventing and managing problems affecting your teeth and gums.
During your appointment, your hygienist can assess your gum health, professionally remove plaque, biofilm and deposits, and provide personalised advice on caring for your teeth at home.
At The Dental Article, our approach to dental hygiene also incorporates advanced EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), allowing us to target harmful biofilm and provide a thorough yet gentle clean.
How long does a dental hygiene appointment take?
The length of your appointment will depend on your oral health and the level of cleaning required.
Most dental hygiene appointments typically take between 30 and 60 minutes. Patients who attend regularly and maintain good oral hygiene at home may require less extensive treatment, while those with gum disease or heavier deposits may need additional care.
Following your assessment, we’ll recommend an appropriate appointment length and ongoing hygiene schedule for you.
How much does a dental hygiene appointment cost?
The cost of a dental hygiene appointment at The Dental Article will depend on the type and length of treatment required.
Our team will explain the cost of your appointment before treatment, and regular dental hygiene appointments may also be included within selected Dental Article Membership Plans.
For our latest hygiene fees and membership options, please contact the practice.
How often should I see a dental hygienist?
How often you should visit a dental hygienist depends on your individual oral health.
For many patients, an appointment around every six months may be appropriate. However, patients with gum disease, dental implants, orthodontic appliances or other risk factors may benefit from more frequent professional cleaning.
We’ll assess your teeth and gums and recommend a personalised maintenance schedule rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
How do dental hygienists remove plaque and biofilm?
At The Dental Article, we use advanced EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy to identify and remove harmful biofilm from the teeth and around the gum line.
A disclosing solution makes areas of biofilm visible, allowing your hygienist to target them precisely. AIRFLOW technology then uses a controlled combination of warm water, air and fine powder to gently remove biofilm and surface staining.
Where required, additional deposits can be carefully removed using EMS PIEZON technology, providing a thorough clean while prioritising patient comfort.
