CALL OUR CLINIC Visiting our hygienist/therapist in Leicester is an essential part of good dental care. When you come for a regular hygienist appointment, our hygienist/therapist will work together with you to make sure that you have a comfortable and healthy mouth. This joint approach can help you tackle problems such as bad breath, bleeding gums, sensitivity, and much more, as well as prevent problems before they occur. They can also give you and your family the skills and the confidence to make a real difference to the health of your mouths.

If you are aware that your breath is not as fresh as you would like it to be, make an appointment with the hygienist for some advice and assistance.
