Hygiene Treatment

Deep clean. Healthier gums. Whole-body benefits.

Even with excellent brushing and flossing habits, some areas in your mouth are nearly impossible to care for on your own. That’s where we come in. At Dental Holistix, we offer advanced professional hygiene treatment, also known as soft tissue maintenance, to remove harmful buildup and protect your gums—using a gentle, modern approach that prioritises your comfort.

‍

Why hygiene treatment matters‍

Over time, soft, sticky biofilm (plaque) hardens into calculus (tartar)—a substance you cannot remove at home. This buildup creates the perfect environment for gum disease, decay and bad breath to thrive.

Regular hygiene visits:

• Remove plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas
• Prevent gum disease and cavities
• Keep your teeth looking brighter and feeling fresher
• Support your overall health (oral bacteria impacts your entire body!)

Pro tip: Catching signs early during a hygiene appointment can save you from more invasive, expensive treatment later.

What makes our hygiene treatment different?

We use Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)—a cutting-edge, evidence-based process that’s more comfortable, more precise and more effective than traditional hygiene treatments.

How GBT works:

1. Disclosing gel highlights biofilm and how long it’s been on your teeth
2. The Opti-View guard keeps your mouth open comfortably and gives clear access
3. Biofilm and stains are gently removed with air, water, and a fine powder
4. You leave with a clean mouth, fresh breath, and better protection for your teeth and gums

Suitable for patients of all ages, GBT promotes long-term dental health by addressing the root cause of plaque-related issues.
