Expert Dental Hygienist in Leicester: Your Path to A Brighter Smile
A clean, healthy smile is the foundation of lasting confidence. At 44 Dental Care, our experienced dental hygienists in Leicester provide gentle, thorough care that removes plaque, prevents gum disease, and restores your natural sparkle.
We go beyond basic cleaning — every hygiene visit is tailored to help you maintain healthy gums, fresh breath, and teeth that look and feel their best.
Our approach is simple: advanced hygiene, gentle hands, and visible results.
Why Visit a Dental Hygienist?
Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in areas that are hard to reach at home. Over time, this can lead to gum disease, bad breath, and staining.
Seeing a dental hygienist regularly helps to keep your mouth clean, your breath fresh, and your smile naturally bright.
- Prevent gum disease: Regular hygiene visits remove the bacterial build-up that causes gingivitis and periodontitis.
- Protect your teeth: Scaling and polishing help prevent decay, enamel wear, and future tooth loss.
- Remove stains and discolouration: Our hygienists gently lift stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking — leaving your teeth brighter and smoother.
- Fresher breath: Removing plaque and bacteria reduces odours, helping you feel confident when you smile and speak.
- Healthier gums: Professional cleaning keeps your gums firm, pink, and resilient.
- Professional advice: Learn the best brushing, flossing, and interdental cleaning techniques to maintain results at home.
Our Dental Hygienist Treatments in Leicester
At 44 Dental Care, we offer a complete range of private hygiene treatments focused on prevention, protection, and comfort.
Scale and Polish
The cornerstone of good oral hygiene. Our hygienist uses a combination of ultrasonic and hand instruments to remove plaque and tartar from around the teeth and gumline. The treatment ends with a gentle polish that smooths your enamel and leaves your teeth feeling clean and fresh.
Stain Removal
Over time, certain foods and drinks — such as coffee, tea, or red wine — can dull your smile. Our stain-removal polish eliminates these surface stains safely, helping restore your natural brightness without damaging your enamel.
Fluoride Protection
After cleaning, we can apply a concentrated fluoride gel or varnish to strengthen tooth enamel, reduce sensitivity, and protect against decay. This is especially beneficial for patients prone to cavities or enamel erosion.
Fissure Sealants
Small protective coatings can be applied to the deep grooves of back teeth (especially in younger patients) to help guard against bacteria and decay. These are painless and quick to apply.
Deep Gum Cleaning
(for early gum disease)
If you have early signs of gum inflammation or bleeding, our hygienist can carry out deeper cleaning below the gumline to remove plaque and promote healing.

Every appointment includes personal guidance — from correct brushing technique to dietary tips — so you can keep your mouth healthy between visits.

How often should I see the hygienist?
Most patients benefit from a visit every six months. If you have gum disease or tend to build up plaque quickly, we may recommend every 3–4 months.
Is the treatment painful?
No. Most patients find it comfortable. If your teeth or gums are sensitive, we can use numbing gel or adjust technique to keep you relaxed.
Can I book directly with the hygienist?
Yes. As a private patient, you can book directly without a dentist referral.
Will hygiene treatment whiten my teeth?
It removes surface stains and makes your teeth appear brighter, but it doesn’t change their natural colour. For deeper whitening, ask about our Pola Night and Enlighten Smiles whitening systems.
Can children see the hygienist?
Absolutely. Hygiene care and fissure sealants are great preventive options for children and teenagers.
Do I need fluoride or sealants?
Your hygienist will assess your risk level and recommend these only if beneficial for long-term protection.
