FAQ
The hygienist will assess the health of your teeth and gums and will scale and polish your teeth to remove any plaque or calculus build up. They will also advise you on lifestyle factors that may be affecting your oral health. Finally, they will work with you to determine the best possible oral hygiene routine to keep your teeth looking their best in between appointments.
Treatment with the hygienist is normally pain free. Treatment can be carried out under local anaesthetic should you experience any discomfort.
Since 2013, you have been able to see the hygienist without first having to have an appointment with the dentist. However, the hygienist can only work within their scope of practice so will refer you to the dentist if they notice any issues.

I’m really happy with the service that I get from Sevenoaks dental and implant centre, they are a friendly team. I hadn’t seen a dentist for over 12 years until I was seen by them so my teeth were in bad shape and they have gone above and beyond to save my teeth. I one hundred percent recommend them for all your dental needs.
My son does not have a dentist and had raging toothache which turned out to be an abscess. We were able to get a same day appointment at reasonable cost. Strong antibiotics prescribed and excellent advice from a caring dentist. Now on the waiting list for NHS place.

Thank you to the whole team!
