Regular dental cleanings by a dental hygienist are essential for maintaining good oral health.
These professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that daily brushing and flossing can miss, helping to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath.
Hygienists also monitor your oral health, offering personalised advice and spotting early signs of potential issues before they become more serious. Combined with a good at-home routine, regular visits play a key role in keeping your teeth and gums healthy for life.

Guided Biofilm Technology (GBT)
At Market Street Clinic our hygienists use Guided Biofilm Technology (GBT).
Guided biofilm therapy (GBT) is a new approach to dental hygiene treatment that focuses on the complete removal of dental biofilm, which is a bacterial film that forms on the teeth and gums. GBT is a systematic and evidence-based approach to dental cleaning.
GBT uses advanced technology and tools to remove dental biofilm more effectively than traditional dental cleaning methods. For example, air polishing involves using a specially designed device to blast a fine powder onto the teeth, which removes stains and biofilm without damaging the tooth surface. Ultrasonic scalers use high-frequency vibrations to remove tartar and biofilm from the teeth, while hand instruments are used to remove biofilm from hard-to-reach areas.
GBT is a comprehensive and effective approach to dental cleaning that can help improve oral health and prevent dental problems such as cavities and gum disease. By removing all dental biofilm, GBT can also improve overall health by reducing the risk of systemic diseases associated with oral bacteria, such as heart disease and diabetes.
