Hygiene — A Very Different Experience
Many people think a hygiene visit simply means a quick “scale and polish”.
At our Chelsea & Fulham Dentist, it is something very different.
We use EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy, one of the most advanced professional dental cleaning systems available today. This modern approach focuses on identifying and removing the harmful bacterial biofilm that causes gum disease, tooth decay and inflammation.
Using Swiss-engineered technology and a carefully structured clinical protocol, we are able to clean teeth more precisely, more comfortably and far more effectively than traditional methods.
For many patients, it completely changes how they experience professional dental cleaning.
Why Our Hygiene Appointments Are Different
Our hygiene care is designed around modern preventive dentistry, not quick cosmetic polishing.
Your appointment focuses on:
Precision cleaning
Biofilm and plaque are carefully identified before removal, ensuring treatment is targeted and thorough.
Advanced technology
EMS AIRFLOW® technology gently removes biofilm and stains using a warm stream of air, water and fine powder.
Greater comfort
Many patients find Guided Biofilm Therapy significantly more comfortable than traditional scaling techniques.
Long-term oral health
Regular professional biofilm removal plays a key role in preventing gum disease, protecting dental work, and maintaining a healthy smile.
Fresh Breath Starts with Healthy Gums
Persistent bad breath is very rarely caused by the stomach or digestive system. In most cases, it originates in the mouth — specifically from bacterial biofilm that accumulates around the teeth, gums and tongue.
These bacteria release sulphur compounds which produce the unpleasant odour commonly associated with bad breath.
Professional hygiene treatment plays a key role in removing these bacteria from areas that cannot be effectively cleaned at home.
With EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy, we are able to gently and precisely remove the bacterial biofilm responsible for both gum inflammation and halitosis. By targeting the source of the problem, rather than simply masking the symptoms, many patients notice a significant improvement in breath freshness after treatment.
Regular professional hygiene appointments, combined with tailored guidance on home care, help maintain a cleaner oral environment, healthier gums, and naturally fresher breath.
There are various causes of bad breath, and we encourage any affected patients to:
- Eat a healthy, balanced diet and avoid eating strongly flavoured or spicy food.
- Cut down on sugary food and drink, as it can increase the amount of bacteria in your mouth.
- Reduce your alcohol consumption.
- Stop smoking.
- Cut down on coffee.
- Drink plenty of water to help prevent your mouth from becoming dry.
- Chew sugar-free gum after eating to stimulate the flow of saliva. This will help clean away any remaining food particles.
- Having regular dental check-ups will ensure that any plaque is removed from your teeth, particularly in areas that are difficult to reach.
Most importantly, we recommend you visit us for a consultation. As we said, many possible causes may not be able to be eradicated with just improved hygiene and dietary methods—sometimes there can be pathological reasons that are not only oral in origin but also systemic—a problem originating from your general medical health.
The team at Chelsea and Fulham dentist will identify and recommend the best pathway to cure your bad breath and offer fantastic bad breath products that we have in stock as part of your treatment.
