London Borough of Croydon, England – January 07, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Smile 4 U – Croydon has announced the availability of consultation appointments for new private patients interested in dental hygiene treatments. The update reflects the practice’s provision of preventive dental care for individuals seeking to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Appointments have been opened for those wishing to arrange visits with the dental hygienist team in the Croydon area.
Dental hygiene appointments focus on the professional cleaning and maintenance of teeth to prevent oral health problems. The treatment involves removing plaque and tartar deposits that accumulate on tooth surfaces and below the gum line, which cannot be fully removed by regular at-home brushing and flossing. According to the announcement, dental hygienists use specialised instruments to clean areas that are difficult to reach with standard oral care tools. These appointments play an important role in preventing gum disease, tooth decay, and other dental complications that can develop when plaque is left untreated.
The practice noted that plaque forms continuously on teeth as bacteria combine with food particles and saliva. When plaque hardens, it becomes tartar, a rough deposit that can only be removed by a dental professional using specific tools. Tartar buildup irritates the gums and can lead to inflammation, bleeding, and eventually periodontal disease if not addressed. Regular hygiene appointments help keep these problems under control and support long-term oral health. The frequency of visits varies from person to person, with some patients benefiting from appointments every three months while others may need visits every six months.
Smile 4 U – Croydon has confirmed that dental hygiene appointments may include air polishing treatment where appropriate. Air polishing uses a combination of compressed air, water, and fine powder particles to remove surface stains and plaque from teeth. The technique is particularly effective at cleaning areas between teeth and around dental work such as crowns or bridges. Air polishing can help restore the natural brightness of teeth by removing staining caused by tea, coffee, red wine, and tobacco use.

At Smile 4 U – Croydon, the first step in a consultation is to look at the patient’s teeth and gums. The dental hygienist looks for signs of gum disease, plaque buildup, bleeding, or swelling. Patients talk about their current oral care routine, such as how often they brush and floss and whether they have any trouble keeping their teeth clean at home. The hygienist gives personalised advice on how to clean more effectively and may suggest specific products that would work best for the patient.
During the appointment, patients have the chance to ask questions about their oral health and to understand what steps they can take between visits to maintain healthy teeth and gums. The hygienist explains what will happen during the cleaning process and addresses any concerns about sensitivity or discomfort. For patients who feel nervous about dental appointments, the team takes extra time to ensure they feel at ease and can communicate throughout the procedure.
The practice noted that dental hygiene appointments often include guidance on lifestyle factors affecting oral health. The hygienist may discuss how dietary choices, particularly sugar consumption, influence the development of tooth decay. Advice is given on practical changes that can reduce the risk of dental problems developing in future.
