Dental Hygienist in Fulham
Professional hygiene care to support healthy gums, clean teeth, and long term oral health.
What Does a Dental Hygienist Do?
A dental hygienist focuses on keeping your teeth and gums healthy through professional cleaning and preventive care. Hygiene appointments help remove plaque and tartar that brushing alone cannot reach.
At Pearlywhite Dental Practice, hygiene care is a key part of maintaining oral health and preventing future dental problems.
