Dental Hygiene

Why seeing a dental hygienist regularly has many benefits for your oral and overall health

Cleaner, healthier teeth and gums:

• Hygienists perform professional cleanings that remove plaque and tartar buildup you can’t fully eliminate with brushing and flossing
• This helps prevent gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis), which can lead to tooth loss if untreated.

Early detection of problems:

• Hygienists are trained to spot early signs of cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other issues. Catching these problems early makes treatment easier and less costly.

Fresher breath:

• Bad breath is often caused by bacteria and plaque buildup. Regular cleanings help reduce these causes, leaving your mouth fresher.

Whiter, brighter smile:

• Professional cleanings remove surface stains from coffee, tea, wine, and smoking, giving your teeth a natural polish.

Education and prevention:

• Hygienists provide tailored advice on brushing, flossing, diet, and lifestyle habits to improve your oral health.
• They may recommend fluoride treatments or sealants to strengthen teeth and prevent decay.

Protection for overall health:

• Gum disease has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. By keeping your gums healthy, you may also lower your risk of these systemic conditions.

Cost savings long term:

• Preventive care reduces the need for more expensive treatments like fillings, root canals, or implants.

Seeing the hygienist regularly falls part of our long term guaranty for dental implants, Invisalign treatment, cosmetic work, crown and bridge work etc. Without maintaining your oral health by attending regular Dental Health Checks and Hygiene appointments, we cannot fully guaranty your dental work.
