Why Dental Hygiene Is About More Than Just Cleaning Teeth 

Professional teeth cleaning in London is essential not only for a brighter smile but for preventing: 

• Bleeding gums 

• Gum disease (periodontitis) 

• Plaque build-up 

• Tartar accumulation 

• Bad breath 

• Implant complications 

• Staining before whitening 

At Levitas Mayfair and Levitas Guildford, our hygienists work alongside dentists and medical doctors to assess how oral inflammation may link to systemic health, immunity, metabolic function and overall wellbeing. 

We treat the mouth as part of the whole person. 

What Happens During a Dental Hygiene Appointment? 

Your dental hygiene appointment in Mayfair or Guildford typically includes: 

✔ Comprehensive gum assessment 

We check for inflammation, bleeding gums, and early periodontal changes. 

✔ Professional scale and polish 

Our hygienist performs advanced scale and polish treatment to remove plaque and tartar build-up safely and effectively. 

✔ Plaque removal & tartar removal 

Even with excellent brushing, plaque can harden into tartar. Professional tartar removal in London or Surrey prevents gum disease and bone loss. 

✔ Personalised prevention advice 

We provide tailored brushing, flossing, and hygiene techniques based on your dental needs. 

Scale and Polish London – Why It Matters 

A professional scale and polish in London removes hardened deposits that cannot be removed at home. This reduces: 

• Bleeding gums 

• Inflammation 

• Bacterial overgrowth 

• Risk of tooth loss 

Patients from Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Kensington and Belgravia regularly visit our Mayfair clinic for preventative hygiene care. 

Meanwhile, patients across Guildford and Surrey choose Levitas Guildford for gentle, thorough teeth cleaning in a calm clinical setting. 

Hygiene Before Whitening 

Planning cosmetic treatment? 

A hygiene session before whitening is essential. Removing plaque and surface staining ensures: 

• Even whitening results 

• Better shade improvement 

• Longer-lasting brightness 

We strongly recommend a dental hygiene appointment before teeth whitening in London or Surrey for optimal results. 

Hygiene for Braces 

Orthodontic appliances trap plaque easily. 

Our hygienists provide specialised hygiene for braces in London and Guildford, helping prevent: 

• White spot lesions 

• Decalcification 

• Gum swelling 

• Bad breath 

We support patients throughout their orthodontic journey with regular plaque removal and gum monitoring. 

Hygiene for Implants 

Dental implants require meticulous care. 

Our team provides specialised hygiene for implants in Mayfair and Guildford, using implant-safe instruments to prevent: 

• Peri-implantitis 

• Gum recession 

• Bone loss 

Because Levitas operates a multidisciplinary structure, your implant dentist and hygienist work closely together for long-term success. 

Bad Breath Treatment London 

Persistent bad breath (halitosis) is often caused by: 

• Plaque accumulation 

• Tartar build-up 

• Gum infection 

• Bacterial imbalance 

Our bad breath treatment in London and Surrey begins with professional plaque and tartar removal, followed by tailored oral hygiene protocols. 

If needed, we collaborate with medical colleagues to assess wider contributing factors.
