Dental Hygiene

Good dental hygiene is an important part of maintaining healthy teeth & gums and a great-looking smile. Brushing and flossing alone will not remove those stubborn stains and calcified deposits.

Regular dental hygienist appointments should form part of your dental treatments to help prevent problems that you won’t be able to spot yourself such as the build-up of calculus, gingivitis (bleeding gums), gum disease, dental cavities or even mouth cancer.

Did you know gum disease is one of the biggest causes of tooth loss?
Good oral hygiene helps maintain gum health and therefore the longevity of the teeth

Appointment with Maisie today was excellent. She handled some unexpected findings very well, offering cogent and salient advice. Analgesia was brilliant, and the work done very efficiently. Good job.

I went to the invisalign open day and the service was wonderful and it's such a beautiful place. All the staff were lovely and really helpful. Unfortunately due to personal matters, I was unable to commit to going ahead with the invisalign treatment on the day however I will be going ahead with this treatment once I am able to. I didnt realise that once you attend one open day, you are unable to attend another, which is unfortunate as the offers on the open day are incredible, If I had known, I wouldnt have booked onto this open day however, I wanted to find out more information and thought this would be a good opportunity to do so and this was how it was advertised to me. The owner was great and did offer to extend the offer available on the day for a fixed period, but due to personal circumstances, again, I didn't feel it was sensible to commit. I did find out more about what the treatment would look like for me, which is what I wanted and I'll be back as soon as I can to go ahead with treatment and hopefully be able to benefit from the offers available today. If I wasnt having issues with our new build home, absolutely would have gone ahead! I am sure everyone who went ahead with their invisalign journey today will have a wonderful experience and thank you to the staff for a wonderful morning and being so helpful. See you all soon!

As someone who has always been terrified of the dentist, Black Swan Dental Spa in Crewkerne has completely changed my experience. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere—it immediately puts you at ease. The elegant, spa-like surroundings make it feel nothing like a typical dental visit! The surgery rooms are calming and relaxing, and the dentists are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely have your best interests at heart. They take the time to explain everything, making sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. I highly recommend Black Swan Dental Spa over any other dentist I’ve been to—it honestly doesn’t feel like you’re at the dentist at all! If you’re nervous about dental visits, this is the place to go. Absolutely outstanding service! 🦷✨ #LocalGuide #BlackSwanDentalSpa #FearFreeDentistry #5StarService #HighlyRecommended
