I’d have thought a hygienist was only necessary if you have gum disease as they go deeper under your gums.
You're lucky with a good dentist. You'd usually see a periodontist for gum care. A hygienist just cleans more thoroughly and skilfully than a dentist. It should take 30 mins to an hour.

My dentist doesn’t do them for that long. Maybe, about 15 minutes.
I’d imagine, you’d have to have a lot of plaque and tartar on your teeth for it to take up to an hour?

I do use those interdental brushes that l think help.

Wait till you get to my age. Your teeth will then be left in a cup of water and Steradent overnight in the bathroom.
Seriously though you look after them while you can because once they are gone there,s no getting them back again.
