Hygiene therapy

We were the first clinic in Scotland to introduce EMS Airflow therapy.

What is dental hygiene?

When we talk about dental hygiene we mean specifically about looking after the gums.

Healthy gums are really important, not only as a foundation for healthy teeth, but also in general health

There is an increasing body of research that demonstrates a link between poor gum health and systemic disease such as diabetes and heart disease. It is widely accepted that improving your gum health has a positive impact on general health and vice versa.

Hygiene therapy

While we often talk about the importance of gum health, it’s equally important to highlight the hygiene therapy that supports it.

At Edinburgh Gums & Teeth, we’re proud to offer EMS Airflow therapy, the gold standard in professional dental cleaning. This advanced system uses a combination of air, warm water, and fine powder to gently yet effectively remove plaque, stains, and biofilm, helping to maintain optimal gum and tooth health without discomfort.

  • Most people rinse straight after brushing… but that might not be doing your teeth any favours.

Toothpaste contains fluoride, which helps strengthen enamel and protect against decay.
When you rinse straight away, you wash a lot of that protection off.

That’s why we often recommend: Spit, don’t rinse

No need to go full astronaut and swallow it 😅 but letting the fluoride sit on your teeth for a bit longer can make a real difference.

If you’re not sure about your brushing technique, our hygienists are always happy to show you.

  • You can always ask our hygienists to show you how to clean those tricky, hard to reach areas properly

A lot of people feel unsure about brushing technique, especially around the back molars or inside surfaces, and that’s completely normal

There’s absolutely no embarrassment, our job is to help you improve, not judge

Sometimes just a small adjustment can make a big difference to your oral health
