Dental hygiene

Our hygienist team at Blossomfield Dental Care have extensive experience in maintaining the oral health of patients throughout Solihull, Shirley and Knowle and beyond. This can range from simple scaling and polish, to routine maintenance or more complex gum treatments.

We can help you design a bespoke oral hygiene plan to prevent recurring problems like staining, bad breath, gum disease, plaque build-up and more.

For patients undergoing dental implant treatment, our hygienists also help maintain your dental health from the beginning of implant treatment to the fitting of the final crowns and bridges.

Benefits of our hygienist care include:

  • Professional clean and tartar removal
    Plaque is a sticky bacterial coating that consistently forms on your teeth. If it is not brushed away properly, including difficult to reach areas like between the teeth, the plaque hardens to form tartar/calculus which cannot be removed so easily at home. Persistent plaque and calculus can lead to periodontal disease, causing bleeding gums, tooth mobility and eventually tooth loss.

    Your dental hygienist will perform an intensive clean on all accessible surfaces of the teeth to ensure any plaque and tartar build up is fully removed. If you have a lot of tooth decay, your hygienist may apply a fluoride gel to help protect the teeth from further attack.
  • Stain removal
    Drinking tea, coffee, red wine or fizzy drinks will gradually stain your teeth over time. Your hygienist will be able to clean these stains away using natural products like baking soda for a whiter smile. Our hygienists also use the innovative AirFlow system which uses air, sodium bicarbonate and water together to clean stains from your teeth.
  • Fresh breath
    A clean mouth means fresher breath!
  • Prevention of gum disease
    Early signs of gum disease include bleeding gums when brushing. Your hygienist will test for this and if they spot symptoms. With regular appointments, they will be able to help deal with this before the disease has the chance to progress. They may use anti bacteria gel and solutions to apply under the gum line to kill any bacteria causing gum disease. It is important to pay attention to these symptoms as if left untreated, gum disease can lead to the movement or even the loss of teeth.
  • Oral hygiene plan
    We will work with your individual needs to create a tailor made plan for optimum maintenance of your oral hygiene. This includes recommending the right products, different types of brushes and showing you the most effective ways to use them.
  • Dietary advice and smoking cessation
    The food we eat can affect our teeth, this could be through staining or acid erosion. If your diet has had a detrimental effect on your teeth, our hygienists can advise on changing your eating habits to prevent further harm. Smoking is also a big factor in causing periodontal disease, bone loss, oral cancer, reducing healing after dental work and staining of teeth. Your dental hygienist can also offer smoking cessation advise if required.

We recommend all Blossomfield Dental Care patients have regular hygiene treatments at least once to twice a year alongside your routine dental health reviews.

3rd September 2025

My dental problem was resolved at minimal cost but it was explained that rather more expensive treatment may be required if this procedure fails.

3rd September 2025

The staff were pleasant and greeted me when I walked in.The smell in reception was amazing.There was a member of staff who asked another patient if he wanted a drink from the coffee machine, he asked if it did an Americano, she said it did, “I’d love one but I don’t know how to work the machine, the moment of staff said no problem, I can make one, the other patient was over the moon, I was impressed over her attention to the little detail.( the member of staff was pregnant, I mention this because I didn’t get her name)

2nd September 2025

I have been at the practice for about fifty years and I have never had anything but courteous professional treatment, I am more than satisfied with the practice

2nd September 2025

Friendly staff

1st September 2025

First visit/check up was scheduled via a text message as part of a six monthly review. The dentist was very clear and professional in his approach, as always. The reception staff then scheduled the hygienist/cleaning for the following day. A number of options were offered. Cleaning was thorough and additional information was given regarding brushing technique. A new 'machine' was used in the cleaning and this incurred an additional fee; thankfully a very small additional fee. The waiting room is clean and comfortable; magazines are available to read, but with the appointments running to time, there was little time to really get into an article.

I have been a patient of Marek Skalka for over 30 years , he has always been the most professional, knowledgeable and caring person you could wish for . Even this time when I explained I had been ill he listened and was kind and also explained current treatment options available as he alwyas has in ten past . Many thanks to Marek for all his outstanding care over the years .

As allways, the receptionists were friendly and helpful. This was the first time that I had treatment with Marieanne and I was very impressed. She had obviously taken time to review my previous attendances and medication and explained the new treatment that I had requested to have.Congratulations to Sarah for such a magnificent floral display with the pots in the car patk !
