Having your teeth cleaned at regular intervals by a dental hygienist is part of a strong overall health care plan.
A dental hygienist will:
• Scale (clean) teeth to remove plaque bacteria and hardened or calcified plaque build-up (tartar).
• Polish teeth to remove stains, if required, and apply a fluoride to strengthen them, if needed.
• Measure the space between gums and teeth to help determine gum health.
• Develop and customize preventive home care program.
• Teach you the most effective way to brush and clean between teeth; offer advice on the purchase and use of oral care products.
• Review your medical history to make sure there are no medical conditions that could influence treatment – if there are, they will take precautions and make appropriate referrals.
• Assess the condition of the head, neck, tongue, gums, teeth and other areas of the mouth – and refer you to a medical professional if anything unusual is detected, such as a sore or lesion that may indicate early stages of oral cancer.
• Provide information and advice on matters related to particular needs, such as nutrition, smoking cessation, dry mouth and bad breath.
Our cleaning and check up also includes an oral cancer screening and a prescribed treatment plan for any findings!
