Dental Hygienist

A professional dental cleaning, also known as a prophylaxis, is a thorough cleaning of the teeth and gums performed by a dental hygienist. This cleaning includes removal of plaque and tartar, teeth polishing, and a fluoride treatment.

As a dental health-conscious person, you probably already know that your excellent cleaning habits at home will not be enough. It is recommended to get a professional dental cleaning at least every 6 months, or as recommended by your dentist or dental hygienist. Some patients may require more regular intervals around every 3-4 months.

In the United Kingdom, dental hygienists are regulated by the General Dental Council (GDC) and are able to practice independently within their scope of practice. They are able to perform procedures such as scaling and polishing teeth and providing oral hygiene instruction without the direct supervision of a dentist.

However, dental hygienists must work within the framework of care provided by the dentist, who is ultimately responsible for the overall care of the patient. You will need to sign a direct access form which allows you to see the hygienist without seeing a dentist. 

As with other countries, if the hygienist finds any suspicious or abnormal conditions during the cleaning, they will typically refer you to the dentist for further evaluation and treatment.
