Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. At The Campbell Clinic in Nottingham, our dental hygiene appointments do more than just clean your teeth. They help prevent gum disease, protect against tooth loss, and give you the tools you need to look after your smile between visits.
Whether you’re due for a routine cleaning or need support with bleeding gums or gum disease, our friendly, skilled hygiene team is here to help.
We’ll begin with a quick update on your medical history and check your gum health using a plaque score, bleeding score, and a Basic Periodontal Examination (BPE). This helps us understand how well your gums are doing and where improvements might be needed.
If your gums are inflamed or bleeding, we’ll explain exactly what’s happening and how to fix it.
Most gum problems are preventable with the right technique. We’ll show you how to clean more effectively at home using an electric toothbrush, floss, or interdental brushes. No lectures, just practical advice that works.
We’ll remove any plaque and tartar from your teeth using a combination of ultrasonic and hand instruments. This professional mechanical cleaning (PMPR) helps reduce inflammation and keeps your gums in top condition.
Based on your gum scores and overall health, we’ll recommend how often you should return for hygiene care. Some people need a cleaning every 6 months, others every 3 or 4. We’ll help you find the rhythm that’s right for you.

The cosmetic effect is outstanding, and the treatment I received over the entire course can only be described as excellent. And I am most pleased to give my endorsement to your services.
I have now had my new teeth for a couple of weeks, and they are FAB! I just want to say thank you for everything you did for me.
I would like to express my thanks for encouraging me to consider implants for my bottom denture. For your commitment by method of discussion, trial and error and your expertise. The outcome is perfect!!
Thank you to all the staff for your commitment and professional attention throughout the implant procedure; it has made such a difference to my quality of life.
I am most pleased to write to you to express my thanks for the excellent replacement and restorative treatment carried out during the last several months. The cosmetic effect is outstanding, and the treatment I received over the entire course can only be described as excellent. And I am most pleased to give my endorsement to your services.
All the team were kind, informative, patient, reassuring, honest and reporting. Nothing was too much trouble, appointments were rearranged if possible and the aftercare – FANTASTIC! The team now feel more like family than service providers, and I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
The surgical implants proved to be far less invasive and painful than I had feared, and the final result is now well worth the treatment and expense, as I now have a full, balanced set of teeth and can eat on either side after a very short time.
Just a short note of thanks for the wonderful job you did on my teeth. I must confess I was dreading the treatment process, but you made it quite bearable. Not once did I feel that you did not have my best interest and comfort in mind.
Having dental implants turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made. Even before I lost my upper teeth, I had never been happy with the way they looked. They made me feel unattractive, they were too big, and I didn’t like my smile. But now I have a perfect smile, perfect teeth and feel completely different.
A 60-year search for the perfect dental practice ended here: skill, artistry, professionalism, kindness, a can-do attitude and a willingness to treat the whole patient have exceeded all expectations. Three beautiful implants – none of them easy – later, I would never go anywhere else.
Most people benefit from a hygiene appointment every 6 months. If you have gum disease, diabetes, or smoke, we may recommend more frequent visits, such as every 3 or 4 months.
Gingivitis is the earliest stage of gum disease. It’s caused by plaque and can lead to red, swollen, or bleeding gums. The good news? It’s completely reversible with better brushing and hygiene care.
If gingivitis isn’t treated, it can turn into periodontitis, where the infection reaches the bone around your teeth. This can cause gum recession, loose teeth, and even tooth loss. Early intervention is key.
If you notice any of these signs, book an appointment. The sooner we act, the better the outcome.
