Dental Hygiene Services in Norwich, Norfolk

At Hellesdon Dental Care, our hygiene services focus on maintaining excellent oral health and preventing dental problems before they arise.

Our experienced dental hygienists use modern techniques and gentle care to remove plaque, tartar, and stains, helping you enjoy a cleaner, fresher, and healthier smile.

What Are Dental Hygiene Services?

Dental hygiene appointments are essential for keeping your teeth and gums in top condition.

A hygienist professionally cleans your teeth, removing hardened plaque (calculus) and surface stains that brushing alone can’t eliminate. These treatments help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath, supporting long-term oral and overall health.

EMS Airflow Hygiene Technology is an advanced dental cleaning system developed by Electro Medical Systems (EMS), a Swiss company known for high-precision medical and dental devices. This technology revolutionises the traditional dental cleaning process by using a minimally invasive, highly effective method to remove plaque, stains, and biofilm from the teeth and gums.

Key Components and How It Works:

  • Air: Compressed air is used to deliver the cleaning powder with enough force to be effective, yet gentle.
  • Water: A warm water spray (adjustable in temperature) enhances patient comfort and rinses debris.
  • Powder: Fine particles of either glycine or erythritol, which are safe and biocompatible, gently clean without damaging enamel or soft tissues.

Benefits of EMS Airflow:

  • Minimally invasive: No scraping with sharp instruments.
  • Comfortable: Ideal for patients with sensitive teeth or dental anxiety.
  • Efficient: Cleans above and below the gum line, including hard-to-reach areas.
  • Safe for implants, orthodontics, and restorations.
  • Biofilm removal: Particularly effective in eliminating the bacterial layer responsible for periodontal disease and decay.
