What Does a Dental Hygienist Do?
Hygienists are specialists in preventive oral health. During your appointment, our team will:
- Remove plaque and hardened tartar (calculus)
- Polish your teeth for a smooth, clean finish
- Assess gum health and look for signs of gingivitis or periodontitis
- Provide brushing and flossing advice tailored to your needs
- Offer diet and lifestyle guidance to reduce decay risk
These treatments are essential for long-term oral health, especially for patients with early gum disease or orthodontic appliances.
