Want a Clean and Hygienic mouth?

Dental hygiene refers to the practice of keeping the mouth, teeth, and gums clean and healthy to prevent disease. Dental hygiene and oral health are often to take for granted but are essential parts of our everyday lives
At Grange Green your hygiene appointment is likely to be different to any cleaning you may have had elsewhere.

The focus is on improving and maintaining your oral health. Your hygienist will carry out detailed measurements in your mouth to assess the health of the supporting bone and gum around your teeth.

This is important to make sure the foundations of the teeth are intact before you invest any money in restoring the teeth.

Everybody has bacteria and food debris which accumulates in their mouth and around the tooth gum junction. This causes inflammation and infection in the gum and eventually can lead to destruction of bone support.
This bacterial film becomes hard, known as ‘calculus’ or ‘tartar’, and is impossible for you to remove with your toothbrush. The hygienist will carefully and thoroughly remove these deposits and any stains and then help to devise a realistic and achievable cleaning programme for you to maintain at home.

Our hygienists work closely with our dentists to safeguard you. They carry out facial and oral cancer screening, check the function of your jaw joint and the way your teeth meet and fit together, constantly reassess your gum and bone condition and where justified can take x-ray radiographs to closely look how things are under the surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

To get answers to your questions you can check the answers provided in the FAQ section here or by visiting relevant pages of our website. If you still have questions feel free to use our Contact form below or give us a call.
The main purpose of seeing a hygienist is to prevent and treat gum disease. Other benefits include stain removal, managing bad breath, managing sensitivity, educating on effective at home plaque control including diet advice, and maintaining dental work like implants, braces, bridges and crowns.
There are 2 main types of gum disease:

Gingivitis - Involves bleeding and inflammation of the gums. This stage is easy to treat and can be reversed by effective plaque control and regular hygiene visits.

Periodontitis - Involves loss of bone from around the teeth which may lead to tooth loss in the future. This is more concerning and you should get this treated as soon as possible. Periodontitis can not be cured or reversed. The aim of treatment is to stabilise it or to slow it down.
Good oral hygiene is crucial if you want to prevent disease in the mouth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, eat a well balanced diet, and use a fluoride toothpaste (remember to spit out after brushing and never rinse!). Last but not least, see the dentist and hygienist on a regular basis.
Tip* You can brush and floss 100x a day but, if you're not using the correct technique then you may still get problems. The hygienist will cover this in the appointment.
Definitely! It is highly recommended that children see a hygienist on a regular basis. This will get them into good habits at a young age and take some of the strain off mum and dad.
No! This is a common myth. Gums will only bleed if effective at home plaque removal isn't being achieved. This causes your immune system to increase blood flow to the gums to try and kill off the bacteria resulting in inflammation, swelling and tenderness. This is why the gums may bleed as they are already inflamed.
Remember, healthy gums do not bleed!
Hygiene appointments are usually pain free. However, if you do feel any discomfort at the time, please inform the hygienist as there are plenty of ways to make you feel more comfortable.

What our patient have to say...
Having a phobia regarding Dental work, I was full of fear & trepidation as my first appointment for a long time approached. Every member of staff was friendly, courteous & had a genuine concern that my experience should be a positive one. With each appointment, my concerns got less & less & by my last appointment, I felt a lot more in control of the situation. The decor & music also helped me relax with each appointment - Many, many thanks to Rachel & all her team!
What our patient have to say...
The team at Grange Green are fantastic. I first saw Rachel 18 months ago to discuss having my teeth straightened. From the outset, Rachel explained everything in detail and I was put at ease. I needed a couple of new fillings and some old ones replaced which was painless. I'm so happy with my new white fillings, no more unsightly amalgam! After 7 months of wearing braces, I have finished my treatment and I'm over the moon with the results. I can't stop looking at my new smile. During my treatment, I've also seen Sophie for hygiene appointments and again at each visit I was I put at ease and everything was explained prior to treatment. I'd highly recommend seeing the team at Grange Green, I won't go anywhere else now. Thank you! 😊
What our patient have to say...
All the team here are so welcoming and friendly and my mind was put at ease throughout the whole process of having braces.
I had an appointment with the hygienist as well as fillings replaced and a top brace fitted which I was initially nervous about but they talked me through it and it was all carried out pain free!
I love my new teeth and will continue to use Grange Green going forward for my check ups and dental hygiene and would highly recommend them!
What our patient have to say...
Very happy I chose Grange for replacing my teeth fillings. Dr Lampros is very honest , he explained everything in details before my treatment. Also his assistance Dani was super caring. I also recommend the hygienist, Sophie. She is very professional and knowledgeable. The clinic offered an interest free payment package which helped me with the major treatment I received.
What our patient have to say...
I have been to Grange Green today to have dental treatment with Lampros.
I felt completely confident in his care with the assistance of Holly, his nurse. My treatment was discussed thoroughly prior to my visit and throughout the procedure.
There was a lovely atmosphere throughout my experience today. I can honestly say, it was enjoyable!!
Don't hesitate to book and appointment.
You will not be disappointed.
What our patient have to say...
For a number of years I was grinding my teeth, it got to the point where I needed to repair the damage that was already done and prevent any further damage happening. Lampros gave me a number of options to consider and I chose to have reconstructive composite fillings to 12 teeth (6 at the top and 6 at the bottom). During the process the professionalism and dedication by the whole team at the practice was second to none. I now have perfect natural looking teeth and receive lots of compliments. I am really happy with the end result and would gladly recommend Lampros and colleagues for any dentistry work.
What our patient have to say...
I visited Rachel at Grange Green to talk about teeth straightening. She ran through all the options before helping me come to a decision as to what would work best, both for my teeth and my lifestyle. The reception at the surgery is always very friendly and professional and the whole team go out of their way to ensure that you are well looked after. I would very much recommend Grange Green both for aesthetic and general dentistry.
What our patient have to say...
I recently had work done in the Grange Green dental practice following a recommendation from a close friend. I've had the new invisible braces and can say the service was exemplary. Very friendly staff, from reception right through the dentist in charge. I couldn't fault my experience here. My ongoing treatment is dealt with with care and professionalism of the highest order. I would definitely recommend using this wonderful practice.
What our patient have to say...
Lovely surgery and lovely staff. I saw Rachel for a check up. She was very thorough. She showed me plenty of pictures and made it easy for me to understand what would need to be done to improve my smile. I’d definitely recommend this Dental practice.
What our patient have to say...
Very good service. I have just had new style, composite veneers fitted. They have improved the top six teeth but still look natural and go over your own teeth. I can’t fault the staff here! They are all friendly, reassuring and professional. The treatment was relatively easy and the ‘mock up’ demo matched the finished result.
What our patient have to say...
I have been going to this practice for over 10 years. The staff are always professional yet friendly to me. The dentists are passionate about involving you in the decision making process around the management of your teeth so that they can provide the right intervention for you (should you need one!). The practice itself is clean, well-furnished and homely. 5 stars.
What our patient have to say...
I am a patient of Grange Green Dental Practice and am very happy with their work. The whole team make me feel confident and relaxed; a recent course of treatment to replace worn out crowns was expertly done, I never felt rushed or uncomfortable, and I was kept in the loop by Lampros every step of the way. I would recommend them to anyone.
What our patient have to say...
Fabulous dental practice. My 3yr old daughter and I were both made welcome and we were thoroughly looked after throughout our visit. The team starting from reception to the nurse and dentist were very attentive and caring, making the whole experience totally stress free. Would definitely recommend!
What our patient have to say...
I visited grange green dental practice as an emergency after not attending the practice for many years and I would just like to say wow !! What an improvement! The atmosphere is friendly and very welcoming , unlike previously. The Dentist I saw was professional and very informative with all options explained in great detail. I didn’t feel pressured or nervous regarding the treatment required. Would definitely recommended to both friends and family.
What our patient have to say...
100% recommend. Being a nervous patient I have always been terrified if ever I have any tooth problems, but everyone at Grange Green was so kind and so caring. The practice is lovely, very quiet and very calming. I never felt a thing during my filling and now I’m out of pain and happy again. I’ll be recommending everyone to Grange Green in future.
