YOUR HYGIENIST VISIT

A dental hygienist treatment includes a thorough and professional cleaning of gums and teeth. Dental hygiene forms a vital part of the preventative ethos at Ampthill Town Dental Clinic - it’s not just simply about brushing your teeth twice a day.

A Dental Hygienist helps to prevent not only tooth decay, but also identifies signs of early gum disease and cures bad breath (halitosis). We firmly believe that good dental hygiene is the stepping stone for overall health and well-being.

At Ampthill Town Dental Clinic we will offer Direct Hygienist access so you don't have to see a dentist first or wait a long time for an appointment if you are registered at another practice. There is no need to register and you can book with us directly online.

Our Direct access is £95 if you are a new patient, or £90 if you have already seen one of our Dentists.
