Dental Hygienist in Marbella

Most patients benefit from seeing a hygienist every 6 months, in line with their dental check up schedule. Patients with active gum disease, implants, or a history of rapid tartar build-up may be recommended to visit every 3–4 months until their condition is stabilised.

Yes. Our hygienists are experienced in managing all stages of gum disease. For mild to moderate cases (gingivitis and early periodontitis), non-surgical treatment by the hygienist — thorough cleaning, root surface debridement, and home care coaching — is often sufficient to bring the condition under control. For more advanced cases, we work with the dental team to provide a comprehensive treatment approach.

We prioritise comfort at every appointment. A routine hygiene visit should be comfortable, though you may feel some vibration and mild pressure. If you have sensitive teeth or inflamed gums, we can apply topical numbing gel or use local anaesthesia. Our hygienists are experienced with nervous patients and will always work at your pace.

Our hygienist can apply professional desensitising treatments, recommend specific products for home use, and advise on techniques to reduce sensitivity. Professional fluoride applications can also provide lasting relief.

Yes. Even with excellent home care, plaque can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas and harden into tartar (calculus), which can only be removed professionally. Regular hygiene appointments catch these build-ups early and help maintain the long-term health of your teeth and gums.

Yes — in fact, professional cleaning is essential for implant maintenance. We use specialised instruments designed specifically for implant surfaces, avoiding any materials that could scratch or damage the implant components. Regular hygiene visits are key to preventing peri-implantitis (inflammation around implants).
