What is a dental hygienist?

Dental hygienists are trained experts who professionally clean teeth and gums, treat periodontal diseases and design bespoke oral hygiene plans for patients.

Our hygienist team at The Mayhill have extensive experience in maintaining the oral health of patients throughout Monmouthshire and South Wales.

This can range from simple scaling and polish to routine maintenance or more complex gum treatments. Our hygienists can also support patients undergoing dental implant treatment - from the surgery to the fitting of the final crowns and bridges, we’ll take care of all your oral health needs.

The benefits of visiting a dental hygienist in Monmouth

Professional cleaning and tartar removal

Plaque is a sticky bacterial coating that forms on your teeth - if it isn't brushed or flossed away properly, including in difficult-to-reach areas like between the teeth, the plaque hardens to form tartar deposits which cannot be removed easily at home.

Persistent plaque and calculus can lead to periodontal disease, causing bleeding gums, tooth mobility and eventually tooth loss.

Your dental hygienist will perform a professional and intensive clean on all accessible surfaces of the teeth to ensure any plaque and tartar build-up is fully removed. If you have a lot of tooth decay, they may also apply a fluoride gel to help protect the teeth from further attack.

Dental Hygienist South Wales

Stain removal

Drinking tea, coffee, red wine or fizzy drinks will gradually stain your teeth over time. Your hygienist will be able to clean these stains away for a whiter smile.

Our hygienists use the innovative EMS system which utilises Guided Biofilm Therapy to clean your teeth effectively, which uses air, sodium bicarbonate and water together to remove stains.

Fresh breath

A cleaner mouth free from bacteria and decay means fresher breath! So, you can talk and socialise at ease without feeling self-conscious about your breath.

Prevention of gum disease

Excellent dental hygiene ensures healthy gums and reduces your chances of gum disease, which, if left untreated, can lead to the loss of teeth. Early signs of gum disease include bleeding gums when brushing.

Your hygienist will test for this, and if any signs of gum disease are found, they may apply an anti-bacterial gel under the gum line to kill the bacteria that causes it.

With regular appointments, they will be able to treat it before it's had the chance to progress.

However, if you have advanced gum disease (periodontitis), we provide gum disease therapy to treat the condition and prevent damage to the surrounding bone.

Oral hygiene plan

Our experienced dental team will work with your individual needs to create a tailor-made plan for optimum maintenance of your oral hygiene.

This includes recommending the right products, explaining the different types of brushes and showing you the most effective ways to clean your teeth and gums.

Dietary advice and smoking cessation

The foods we eat can affect the condition of our teeth, whether it be through staining or acid erosion. If your diet is causing dental problems, our hygienists can advise on changing your eating habits to prevent further harm.

Your dental hygienist can also offer smoking cessation guidance if required, as smoking is a big factor in causing periodontal disease, staining, bone loss, oral cancer and preventing healing after dental work.

How often should I visit my dental hygienist in South Wales?

We recommend having regular hygiene treatments every six months alongside your routine dental health reviews. This will help to ensure that any developing issues are found and treated before they become detrimental to your oral hygiene.

We recommend all The Mayhill Dental and Specialist Centre patients have
regular hygiene treatments at least once to twice a year
alongside your routine dental health reviews

I am a nervous patient but dentist totally put me at my ease. He explained everything that he was doing.

11th June 2025

Credit is due for the personal attention, professional service and good humour from Sarah and Holly in the first appointment and for Tracey and Casey in the second appointment. They were of a high order to their personal credit. As I said to Sarah and Tracey while they deserve credit so do Holly and Casey supporting them. They concurred!

11th June 2025

Great staff and service.

11th June 2025

Attention and care cannot be faulted. Compared to my previous experiences at a previous dentist, though less costly, they were poor. Happy to pay the price for the exceptional care at Mayhill on offer.

10th June 2025

My dentist is professional, has time to discuss and explain all options, he gives great feedback is very encouraging on what I need to do and remember ( or does his homework before I arrive ) as Iv had a few problems they have been amazing at working through which makes me feel valued.

10th June 2025

It felt as if nothing was too much trouble for everyone looking after me that morning. The receptionists, dental nurses and both of the dentists. Absolutely wonderful care and loving attention.

7th June 2025

I have built a wonderful rapport with the team at Mayhill. They are extremely knowledgeable, and explain everything very clearly. In the two years I've been there, I have completely transformed my daily brushing routine with the amazing support of Tracy the hygienist, and completely overcome my fear of dental treatment. I was even able to have a tooth extraction performed without sedation, which I never dreamt would be possible, since I was such a nervous patient when I started. Transfering to Mayhill was one of the best decisions I have ever made for my health and wellbeing

3rd June 2025

I recently became a patient at Mayhill after suffering with excruciating toothache that in the end required an extraction. I was originally given antibiotics but unfortunately this didn’t work so booked an emergency appointment followed by an extraction. The care received throughout this process was fantastic. I recently returned to see the hygienist and again the experience was positive. I’m very happy with the service throughout and will continue to use the dentist.

3rd June 2025

Reception staff very friendly, and Jason explained everything as we went along.

2nd June 2025

The level of information provided by clinician. Great care taken with treatment, regularly checking that I was ok.
