Dental Hygiënist in Utrecht

A healthy smile is about more than just brushing twice a day. Plaque and tartar can build up, your gums can become inflamed, and before you know it, you’re dealing with issues you’d rather have prevented. That’s where the dental hygienist comes in. An appointment ensures your teeth are not only clean, but also strong and healthy.

A professionally cleaned mouth doesn’t just look fresh, it also gives you a radiant smile and fresh breath. At Dental Care Utrecht, you are welcome at any of our five locations across Utrecht. Our dental hygienists are here to provide personal care and practical advice.

What Does a Dental Hygienist Do?

During your appointment, your teeth are professionally cleaned and cared for. This can include:

• Removing tartar and plaque – Helps prevent inflammation and keeps your mouth clean.
  

• Gum treatment – If your gums are sensitive or inflamed, we treat them to restore and maintain their health.
  

• Minor restorative treatments – Small issues such as surface damage can be fixed immediately.
  

• Applying a protective layer to the teeth – A fluoride treatment can give extra protection against cavities and wear.
  

Our dental hygienists make sure you leave with a fresh, healthy smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a treatment cost?

Costs vary depending on the treatment. A standard cleaning is usually between €40 and €100. Check your health insurance, in some cases the treatment is partly covered under supplementary dental insurance.

Is treatment painful?

No, dental hygienist treatments are not painful. It may feel slightly sensitive, especially if your gums are inflamed, but we always work gently and with your comfort in mind.

Will I need multiple appointments?

This depends on your dental health. For most people, one visit is enough, but for severe gum problems or heavy tartar build-up, more sessions may be needed. We will assess this during your first appointment.

How often should I visit the dental hygienist?

For most people, twice a year is enough to keep their teeth clean and healthy. If you have sensitive teeth, rapid tartar build-up, or gum inflammation, it may be wise to visit more often. Our dental hygienist will give you personalised advice.

Do I need a referral from a dentist?

No, you can make an appointment directly with the dental hygienist without going through a dentist. Preventive care is important, and we recommend regular visits, even if you don’t have symptoms.
