Want Cleaner, Healthier Teeth? Hygiene & Airflow Can Help

Regular hygiene visits help remove the build-up of plaque and tartar that brushing alone can't reach, protecting your teeth and gums from decay and gum disease.

For stubborn surface stains from tea, coffee, red wine or smoking, Airflow uses a gentle stream of air, water and fine powder to polish your teeth, leaving them clean, smooth and refreshed without damaging your enamel.

We welcome hygiene patients from Derby, Hilton, and the surrounding towns and villages of South Derbyshire, including Willington, Etwall, Hatton, Egginton, Tutbury and Burton upon Trent, all within easy reach of our practice on Welland Road.

This varies from patient to patient, but most people benefit from a hygiene visit every six months. Your hygienist will recommend a schedule suited to you.

What stains does Airflow remove?

Airflow is particularly effective at removing surface stains caused by tea, coffee, red wine and smoking, restoring a brighter, cleaner appearance.

Is hygiene treatment available on the NHS?

Hygiene appointments are offered as part of our private dental care. Book an appointment with us to talk through your options.

Can Airflow be used on sensitive teeth?

Yes, in most cases, though your hygienist will assess your teeth first and adapt the treatment if needed.
