Regularly seeing a dental hygienist is necessary to maintain a healthy mouth. Brushing and flossing daily is not enough to reach the hidden areas where tartar, calculus and plaque can build up. A dental hygienist uses special instruments to clean your teeth, remove tartar and plaque, and help prevent gum disease. This includes preventing tooth loss! A dental hygienist can also advise you on products you can use to help improve your home oral hygiene routine.
We recommend all our patients to see a hygienist to maintain a healthy mouth. When was your last clean?
