Dental Hygiene in Edgware
Professional cleaning from £70, with Airflow polishing if you want stains lifted too.
Even good brushing leaves some plaque behind, and once it hardens into tartar only a professional clean will shift it. Regular hygiene visits are the most effective way to prevent gum disease, which is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. They also help with fresh breath. At Toothi in Edgware we take our time over them.
Hygiene treatments at Toothi
Basic Hygiene Therapy: £70
Up to 20 minutes: a professional scale and polish that removes tartar and surface deposits, leaving teeth smooth and fresh.
Comprehensive Hygiene with Airflow: £125
Up to 30 minutes: deeper scaling plus Airflow, a fine jet of water, air and powder that lifts tea, coffee, wine and smoking stains without scraping. You’ll see the difference when you look in the mirror afterwards.
Why regular hygiene visits are worth it
- ✓ Gum disease is silent. Bleeding gums, bad breath and eventually loose teeth come on slowly. Hygiene visits pick up early gum disease and reverse it before damage is done.
- ✓ It protects other treatment. Whitening, bonding, implants and Invisalign all last longer with healthy gums. (If you have implants, implant hygiene is £150.)
- ✓ Fresher breath, cleaner-looking teeth. Stain removal shows on the day.
- ✓ Advice for your mouth. Practical tips on brushing, cleaning between teeth and diet, based on what we actually see.

Hygiene FAQs
How often should I have a hygiene appointment?
Every six months suits most people; if you have gum disease, stain heavily or wear implants or braces, we may recommend every three to four months. We’ll go by what your mouth needs, not a formula.
Does a scale and polish hurt?
It shouldn’t. Most people find it comfortable. If your gums are tender or sensitive, tell us and we’ll go gently and adjust how we work.
What is Airflow and is it worth it?
Airflow polishes with a fine jet of water, air and powder instead of scraping. It’s gentler and much better at lifting tea, coffee, wine and smoking stains. If staining bothers you, it’s worth it (£125).
Will a hygiene visit whiten my teeth?
It removes surface stains, so teeth look noticeably cleaner and brighter, but it doesn’t change the underlying shade. For that, see our professional teeth whitening (and a hygiene clean first gives whitening the best start).
My gums bleed when I brush. Is that normal?
No. Bleeding gums are the earliest sign of gum disease. Caught early, it’s fully reversible with professional cleaning and good home care, so don’t ignore it. Book a visit.
Do I need to be a registered patient?
No. You can book a hygiene visit directly. We’re open seven days a week including Saturdays and Sundays.
