Dental Hygiene

Prevention is key when it comes to maintaining good oral health. To ensure that potential dental issues are caught early, it is recommended that even those without pressing concerns visit our dental team every six months for a professional dental hygiene teeth cleaning and exam. This regular check-up enables us to evaluate your oral health comprehensively, detect any issues using X-rays, and remove stains, plaque, and tartar from your teeth. Additionally, we offer an oral cancer screening and use an ultrasonic scaler to clean teeth more comfortably than traditional scraping tools. We are also happy to provide advice for your at-home oral care routine. By taking these preventative measures, we can address any problems, such as cavities and gum disease, while they are still minor.

What is Dental Hygiene?

Dental hygiene refers to the practice of maintaining optimal oral health by keeping the teeth, gums, and mouth clean and healthy. It involves regular brushing and flossing, as well as routine visits to the dentist for cleanings and check-ups. Proper dental hygiene is essential for preventing tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems. In addition to maintaining good oral health, dental hygiene can also have a positive impact on overall health and well-being. It is an important aspect of maintaining a healthy and happy lifestyle.

What should I expect during my hygiene visit?

During a dental hygiene visit, you can expect a thorough cleaning of your teeth and gums by a dental hygienist. The hygienist will use special tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, as well as floss and polish your teeth. They may also take x-rays and perform an oral cancer screening. Your hygienist will also provide you with education on proper brushing and flossing techniques, as well as any other oral health concerns you may have.

When the veneers arrive from the lab, you return to the office and have them custom-fitted to each of your teeth. After cleaning and etching the surface of your teeth to prepare them for the bonding process, the dental expert applies a special cement and light source that causes the adhesive to bond securely to the porcelain. In no time your veneers are permanently in place, and you have a new and improved smile!

What are some advantages of good dental hygiene?

There are several advantages to seeing a dental hygienist for regular cleanings and check-ups. First and foremost, regular dental hygiene visits can help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. A hygienist can clean hard-to-reach areas of the mouth that may be missed during daily brushing and flossing. Additionally, dental hygienists can provide education on proper oral hygiene techniques and offer tips for maintaining optimal oral health. Seeing a dental hygienist can also help identify potential issues early on, allowing for prompt treatment and preventing more serious dental problems down the road. Overall, regular dental hygiene visits can help keep your mouth healthy and ensure a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.
