Hygiene, Airflow & Periodontal Treatments

A hygiene appointment is the first step towards a healthier, whiter smile. Megan Fairhall Dental offers a comprehensive and gentle approach to dental hygiene, from a Classic Scale and Polish to the Airflow Clean and Polish, and essential Periodontal Treatments to ensure healthy teeth and gums.

Classic Scale & Polish from £88

  • At Megan Fairhall Dental, a scale and polish treatment involves gently removing plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth, resulting in cleaner, whiter smile. A scale and polsh is a really effective way to prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath while also improving your smile's appearance.

  • A typical Scale and Polish appointment at Megan Fairhall Dental takes 30 minutes, depending on the build-up of plaque and stains.

    At Megan Fairhall Dental, we recommend having a scale and polish treatment as part of your routine dental care. For most patients, a scale and polish every six months is sufficient to maintain good oral health. However, individual factors may require more frequent cleanings, which our team will assess and advise accordingly.

  • At Megan Fairhall Dental, we want to assure you that a scale and polish treatment is typically painless. However, it is possible to experience mild discomfort or sensitivity if you have sensitive teeth or a substantial amount of tartar buildup. Our skilled team takes utmost care to minimize any discomfort and provide a gentle and comfortable experience during your scale and polish treatment.

  • While a scale and polish can help remove surface stains, which will help to maintain the colour of your teeth, however, it is important to note that it is not specifically designed as a teeth whitening treatment. Megan Fairhall Dental is Bournemouth and Poole’s leading expert in safe and effective Teeth Whitening. Please check out our whitening services or ask Megan at your appointment for more info.

Airflow Clean & Polish from £116

  • Airflow polish is an innovative dental treatment offered at Megan Fairhall Dental in Bournemouth and Poole. It gently cleans and polishes your teeth using a combination of air, water, and fine powder particles to effectively remove surface stains and plaque bacteria from the teeth, resulting in a cleaner and healthier smile.

  • At Megan Fairhall Dental in Bournemouth, an Airflow appointment typically takes 30 minutes. For most patients, we recommend having an Airflow treatment every six months, although individual factors may affect the recommended frequency. We’ll assess your individual needs and provide personalised recommendations during your visit.

  • Airflow polish, available at Megan Fairhall Dental in Bournemouth and Poole, offers a superior method for removing stains and plaque compared to the traditional scale and polish treatments. With a high-pressure stream of air and fine powder particles, Airflow polish can reach and clean areas that are often challenging to address with traditional methods and is a more gentle experience on the gums and teeth.

  • Airflow polish, provided by Megan Fairhall Dental, can help remove surface stains, resulting in a brighter, fresher appearance and feel of the teeth. However, it's important to note that Airflow polishing is not a dedicated teeth whitening treatment intended to alter the natural colour of your teeth, however, it can help maintain the existing colour of your teeth.

Periodontal Gum Treatments from £120

  • At Megan Fairhall Dental we are experts in gentle and effective periodontal gum treatments.

    Periodontal gum treatment is a dental procedure designed to address gum diseases like gingivitis or periodontitis. It involves a thorough cleaning of the teeth, gums, and roots to remove tartar and plaque bacteria, which are the underlying causes of gum disease.

  • The duration of a periodontal gum treatment depends on the severity of the gum disease and the extent of treatment required. The Megan Fairhall Dental team will evaluate your condition during an initial consultation and provide you with an estimate of the treatment duration based on your specific needs.

  • If you notice persistent bad breath, swollen or bleeding gums, gum recession or loose teeth, it's important to consult with our dental professionals at Megan Fairhall Dental for an accurate diagnosis. We will evaluate your condition and determine if a periodontal gum treatment is necessary.

  • At Megan Fairhall Dental, we prioritize your comfort during periodontal gum treatments. Local anaesthetic can used to ensure a painless experience. While you may experience some discomfort or sensitivity afterward, it can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and our guidance on proper oral hygiene practices.

  • Periodontal gum treatments offer significant long-term benefits. At Megan Fairhal Dental we understand the importance of halting the progression of gum disease, preventing tooth loss, and improving your overall oral health. By reducing inflammation, stabilising gum pockets, and promoting gum tissue healing, our periodontal treatments enhance both the health and aesthetics of your smile. Additionally, maintaining good gum health can positively impact your overall systemic health.
