Air polish Dental stain removal treatment

What is air polish stain removal treatment?

This is the most up to date and effective treatment for tooth stain removal.

The system uses a high pressure powder spray to remove not only plaque but stain too.

This treatment is great for people who maintain a good standard of oral hygiene but build up stains.

Do I have to be a registered patient of the practice to see the Dental Hygienist?

Recent changes in legislation now mean it is possible to see the Hygienist directly. This means that as long as you see a regular dentist for check ups you can attend Amesbury Dental Care as a non registered patient to see the Hygienist for all your Dental Hygiene needs.
