Dental Hygiene Appointments

Good dental hygiene is vital to maintain a healthy set of teeth and gums. While regular brushing and flossing help to keep your teeth clean, it is essential to visit a dental hygienist annually for a more thorough cleaning.

Why Do You Need a Hygiene Exam?

When food particles become trapped between the teeth and gums, they harden and form plaque which can eventually turn into tartar. Tartar can cause bad breath and also affects the integrity of the gums leading to gum disease.

About the Dental Hygiene Procedure

Your dental hygienist will use specialized equipment to remove the tartar that has developed between your teeth and gums. They will also assess the tartar in your mouth and teach you brushing techniques and flossing tips so you can reduce the build-up in the future.
