Direct Access Dental Hygienist Harrow

At Direct Teeth Cleaning we offer our patients flexibility when it comes to their dental needs. We understand that you may wish to book an appointment with a hygienist without seeing a dentist first. This is why we offer our Direct Access service, so you can book in with one of our hygienists straight away.

Whether you need to see a hygienist between your dentist appointments, or just wish to see a hygienist on their own, our Direct Access service is the most convenient way for you to do this.

What’s the difference between a dentist and a dental hygienist?

You may wonder why it can sometimes be better for you to see a hygienist directly. Below we outline the main difference between a dentist and a dental hygienist, to help you understand if our Direct Access service is for you.

Dentists offer a general service that aims to restore health back into your teeth and mouth. If you need a general check up to see if you’re in good oral health, a dentist is the best person to see.

A dental hygienist however, specialises in the cleaning of your teeth and gums. Hygienists are specially trained in scaling and polishing your teeth, in order to eliminate plaque and tartar. A dentist can also refer you to a dental hygienist.
