What is a hygiene appointment?
During your visit, our dental hygiene team focuses on preventing and treating common oral health problems such as plaque build-up, tartar (calculus), staining, and gum disease.
At Cardiff Dental and Aesthetics Centre, we use the EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) system — an advanced and modern approach to dental hygiene. This technology allows us to remove harmful biofilm (plaque), stains, and early tartar in a gentle, precise, and comfortable way.
The EMS GBT system uses a combination of warm water, fine powder, and air polishing technology to clean teeth and gums thoroughly while being kinder to your teeth and soft tissues than traditional methods.

Your hygiene visit, step by step
Here is what to expect at your hygiene visit. Every appointment follows the same four-stage approach, each stage tailored to what your teeth and gums need. Using EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy, the process is gentler and more precise than traditional methods.
We use EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy
Because we use the EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy system, your hygiene appointment is designed to be minimally invasive, highly effective, and more comfortable than traditional cleaning methods.
- 1
Assessment — Your hygiene appointment begins with a careful examination of your teeth and gums. We check for signs of plaque, tartar, and gum inflammation so we can tailor the treatment to your needs.
- 2
Biofilm Detection — A special disclosing solution may be used to highlight areas of plaque (biofilm). This helps us target the areas that need the most attention and allows you to see where improvements can be made with your brushing routine.
- 3
Gentle Cleaning with EMS GBT — Using the EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy system, we gently remove plaque, stains, and tartar from your teeth and around the gum line using air polishing and precision instruments.
- 4
Personalised Oral Care Advice — To help maintain your results, we provide tailored advice on brushing, flossing, and oral hygiene products that will support your long-term dental health.
