Senior Dental Hygienist
Menaka sees more of our patients than anyone else in the building. Hygiene visits are where problems get caught while they are still cheap and painless to fix.

She uses airflow polishing for tea, coffee and betel staining, and is patient with people who have avoided a hygienist for years.
Working days can change with leave and clinic cover. Online booking always shows the real diary.
Treatments
Online booking only offers a clinician for treatments they are configured to carry out.
Professional removal of hardened plaque and staining, followed by practical coaching on the two or three habits that will make the most difference.
A thin protective coating painted into the grooves of back teeth, sealing out the bacteria that cause most childhood decay.
Dentist-supervised whitening using custom-made trays, with a shade record taken before and after so the change is measured rather than guessed.
Results
Published with the written, dated consent of the patient concerned.
Long-standing tea and betel staining removed in a single 60-minute hygiene appointment.
Patient reviews
Straightforward, well explained and no pressure to buy anything extra. They took a photo of the starting shade so at the end there was no debate about whether it had actually worked — it clearly had.
I had not seen a hygienist in eleven years and was embarrassed about it. Menaka did not make a thing of it, just got on with it and showed me what to change. I have been back every six months since.
