We have a dedicated dental hygienist who is specially trained to work as part of our team. Our dental hygienist plays an important part in dental care as they are mainly concerned with preventative dental health. Our hygienist will be looking out for the health of your gums, which is vital to maintaining the health of your teeth. We will teach you correct home care, helping to keep your teeth and gums healthy. We will also advise you of the best ways to keep your teeth free from plaque, give you best practices about your diet and preventing tooth decay.
During the course of your dental hygiene appointment, our hygienist will professionally clean your teeth by a technique called ‘scale and polish’, or prophylaxis. This involved removing the plaque and tartar (or ‘calculus’) from the surface of your teeth. As you may know, plaque is a sticking coating that constantly builds up on the surface of your teeth.
We advise patients to have regular hygienist appointments with us, with a combination of looking after your teeth and gums at home, to keep your mouth healthy. Of course, the regularity depends on individuality. Adults, as well as children, who suffer from tooth decay can benefit from having fluoride applied on the surface of their teeth.
Although a dental hygiene is generally pain free, some patients can experience some degree of discomfort. Anaesthetic creams of local anaesthetic can be administered to relieve such pain.

Air Polishing is a simple and painless dental hygienist treatment that has been developed to help keep your teeth clean and white. The procedure utilises a fine jet of compressed air, water, and fine powder particles to gently and completely remove staining caused by tea, coffee, red wine, and tobacco, as well as staining caused by some mouthwashes. Although it’s a very simple technique it’s also very effective. The combination of the pressurised jet of air, water and powder works to remove stains, plaque, as well as anything else that may have become trapped between teeth, such as pieces of food.
“Last week, I had a combined hygienist and air polish treatment done at Sonia Dental Clinic. It was a really great experience.
The treatment was done by Dimitri who was very thorough at his job, whilst also making you feel super relaxed during the treatment. My teeth and gums feel a lot cleaner.
I am super happy with the results and would definitely recommend.”

A key to good oral health is the application of fluoride – a mineral that helps prevent caries and can repair teeth in the very early, microscopic stages of the disease. Fluoridation and Fluoride can greatly help dental health by strengthening the tooth enamel, making it more resistant to tooth decay. It also reduces the amount of acid that the bacteria on your teeth produce.
The maximum reduction in dental caries is achieved when fluoride is available both topically and systematically. Professional fluoride treatments generally take just a few minutes and may be in the form of a solution, gel, foam, or varnish. Typically, it is applied with a cotton swab or brush, or it is used as a rinse or place in a tray that is held in the mouth for several minutes.
After a fluoridation treatment, you may be asked by our dentist not to rinse, eat, or drink for at least 30 minutes to allow the teeth to absorbs the fluoride and help repair microscopic carious areas. Depending on your oral health status, fluoride treatments may be recommended every 3, 6 or 12 months. Your dentist also may recommend additional preventive measures if you are at a moderate or high risk of developing caries.
Applying fissure sealants to your teeth in a safe and painless way of protecting them. A fissure sealants is a protective plastic coating that is applied to the biting surfaces of your back teeth (the molars and premolars), which prevents food and bacteria from getting into the small grooves in your teeth. Depending on the depth of the grooves of your teeth, your dentist will decide whether they need sealing or not.
The process of applying sealants to your teeth is usually straightforward, pain-free, and takes a few minutes for our dentist or hygienist to apply. Firstly, the tooth is cleaned thoroughly and dried, with cotton or another absorbent material put around the tooth to keep it dry. Then, an acid solution is put on the surfaced of the teeth that help the sealant bond to the teeth. The tooth is the rinsed and re-dried. Lastly, the sealant is applied to the tooth enamel and allowed to set, sometimes with the aid of a curing light.
Sealants are often applied to permanent teeth as soon as they start to come through, and they can last for many years at a time. Sealants can, too, be applied to baby milk teeth as they are as important at permanent teeth. However, as sealants can wear overtime, your dentist will want to check them regularly to ensure they are still intact and that no decay can start underneath.
If you would like to know more about pit and fissure sealants, ask a member of our team during your appointment.
