Hygiene Treatment and Gum Disease

The hygienist will do an initial oral hygiene assessment using special instruments and locate areas of plaque and tartar build-up. They will then score your overall gum health before giving you a thorough professional dental cleaning. They will then give your teeth a polish by removing superficial stains. Finally, your hygienist will give you a tailored individual advice plan on how to best maintain oral health from diet to oral hygiene practices.

Prevention is always better than cure. Dental hygienists identify early signs of tooth decay and gum disease enabling your dentist to address problems swiftly. Your dentist will advise you about how often you should see a hygienist based on your level of risk.
