Dental Hygiene, EMS Airflow® & Gum Health
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. At Shenstone Dental Centre, our hygiene team focuses on prevention, helping you maintain healthy teeth and gums while reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
We welcome patients from Shenstone, Lichfield and across Staffordshire for routine hygiene care, EMS Airflow® stain removal, gum disease treatment and implant maintenance. Whether your goal is improved oral health, fresher breath or a brighter smile, we can help you achieve long-term results.
Every appointment is tailored to your individual needs, combining professional cleaning, personalised advice and advanced hygiene treatments to keep your smile looking and feeling its best.
Why Are Regular Hygiene Appointments Important?
Even with excellent brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in areas that are difficult to reach. Regular hygiene appointments help reduce the risk of gum disease, tooth decay and bad breath while supporting long-term oral health.
Hygiene Care for Dental Implants
Regular hygiene appointments play an important role in maintaining the health of dental implants. Professional cleaning helps remove plaque and bacteria around the implant, supporting healthy gums and helping to protect your investment for the long term.
What Happens During a Hygiene Appointment?
Your hygienist will assess your teeth and gums, remove plaque and tartar build-up, and provide personalised advice to help you maintain excellent oral health. Depending on your needs, we may recommend EMS Airflow® Guided Biofilm Therapy for advanced stain removal and biofilm management.
Looking for a Brighter Smile?
Our EMS Airflow® Hygiene Treatment provides an advanced and comfortable way to remove plaque, harmful bacteria and surface stains caused by tea, coffee, red wine and smoking.
Using Guided Biofilm Therapy technology, EMS Airflow® leaves your teeth feeling exceptionally clean while helping to maintain healthy gums and fresh breath.

Concerned About Bleeding Gums?
Bleeding gums, persistent bad breath and gum recession can be early signs of gum disease. Early diagnosis and treatment can help protect your teeth, gums and long-term oral health.
Our experienced hygiene team provides personalised gum health care and periodontal maintenance to help manage and prevent gum disease.
The Benefits of Professional Hygiene Care
Regular hygiene appointments do far more than keep your teeth feeling clean. Professional hygiene care helps maintain healthy gums, reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, and supports long-term oral health.
For patients with dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers or orthodontic treatment, regular hygiene maintenance is particularly important. Professional cleaning helps protect your investment and keeps your smile looking and feeling its best.
Our experienced hygiene team provides personalised care focused on prevention, gum health and long-term oral wellbeing. Whether you're attending for routine maintenance, implant care or periodontal treatment, we are committed to helping you achieve a healthier smile.
- Healthier gums and fresher breath
- Reduced plaque and tartar build-up
- Early detection of oral health concerns
- Support for dental implants and restorative work

How Often Should I Visit the Hygienist?
For most patients, we recommend a hygiene appointment every six months to help maintain healthy teeth and gums. However, patients with gum disease, dental implants or a higher risk of oral health problems may benefit from more frequent visits. Your hygienist will recommend a schedule tailored to your individual needs.
Can EMS Airflow® Remove Stains?
Yes. EMS Airflow® is highly effective at removing surface stains caused by tea, coffee, red wine and smoking. Using a gentle combination of warm water, air and fine powder, Airflow® can help restore a cleaner, brighter smile while remaining comfortable for patients.
Is EMS Airflow® Suitable for Dental Implants?
Yes. EMS Airflow® is a safe and effective way to clean around dental implants and support long-term implant health. Regular hygiene maintenance is essential for protecting implants and helping to prevent inflammation around the surrounding gum tissue.
Does Hygiene Treatment Hurt?
Most patients find hygiene treatment comfortable and straightforward. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, our team will take extra care to ensure your appointment is as comfortable as possible. EMS Airflow® is often preferred by patients looking for a gentler alternative to traditional cleaning methods.
What Are the Signs of Gum Disease?
Common signs of gum disease include bleeding gums, swollen or tender gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession and loose teeth. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent more serious problems and protect your long-term oral health.
