Direct access dental hygiene and therapy

A scale and polish for that special occasion

Do you need to give your confidence a boost and look your very best for that special occasion? Direct access dental hygiene and therapy could help you with a wedding,  interview or perhaps an important function.

At North Street Dental in Dudley, we are now able to offer same-day appointments with our popular dental hygienist and therapist, Sophie Mae.

You don’t have to see our dentist

New legislation from the General Dental Council means you can go straight to a dental hygienist for a professional teeth cleaning and advice on your dental health. That means we can welcome people who only want to see our dental hygienist/therapist without them having to register with the dentist.

Previously, all work carried out by hygienists had to be referred by a dentist.

Same day appointments for a scale and polish

Don’t want to see a dentist, but want your teeth to sparkle? Sophie Mae BSc Dental Hygiene and Therapy (B’ham) GDC 264333 can typically see you the same day. No waiting for a dental appointment with our dentist, no frustrating delays.

No dental examination to get an appointment

You will not need a dental examination to see Sophie. Just call us, and we’ll book you in. It’s as simple as that. Our dental clinic is on North Street, Dudley, West Midlands – map and directions are on our contact page.

Your dental health on screen

As part of the treatment, we use an interoral camera to display images of your mouth onto a screen you can see. It helps us educate patients, and Sophie will be able to show you those teeth that may require special attention and how to clean them thoroughly.

What will happen at my dental hygienist’s appointment?

  • We give you 45 minutes of clinical time
  • You will receive a thorough oral assessment
  • We will use an interoral camera, and you will be able to see on the screen the issues Sophie will address with your teeth
  • Scale and polish therapy

New: Air Flow polishing

Also worth considering is our brand new Air Flow polishing treatment. An innovative procedure that quickly cleans and polishes the teeth with a mix of water, compressed air and fine powder particles. Ask our direct access dental hygiene and therapy provider Sophie for details.

Had an appointment with Sophie and her Dental Nurse, it was stress free, I am an anxious patient, teeth and gums thoroughly checked, then a clean and polish which left my teeth lovely and clean. Sophie updated me in language I could understand all her findings. Fabulous service throughout my appointment by all the staff at North Street Dental.

Staff are always very pleasant and helpful, will always accommodate as much as possible and help with any problems and I have always trusted their advice, they always make you feel at ease.

From start to finish the visit to North Street was seamless and very pleasant, reception staff were attentive and very helpful, the clinic is very well kept and really feels like you have a 5* experience. Sophie and her assistant were very thorough explaining exactly what was happening, whilst offering some good advice to help keep my mouth healthy and I received the best clean I’ve ever had.
