No, hygienists will focus on gum health and cleaning whereas dentists diagnose and treat dental problems.

Yes! By Scaling and polishing we can eliminate surface stains that are produced by tea, coffee, wine or smoking leaving your teeth looking cleaner and brighter.

Yes, you can schedule a direct access hygiene appointments at Pearl Dental Surgery without first having a dental check-up.
