How much does a hygienist appointment cost in Kensington and Chelsea?

A hygienist appointment in London, for a scale and polish, typically costs between £65 and £95, with longer or more involved sessions such as treatment for gum disease costing more. A basic scale and polish can be included in an NHS check-up where it is clinically needed, but dedicated hygienist appointments are usually private. Many people book a hygienist every six months alongside their routine check-up to keep their gums healthy and head off problems early.
