What to Expect at a Dental Hygiene Appointment
- A thorough scale and polish procedure effectively remove harmful plaque and deposits of tartar. These deposits, if left untreated, can lead to periodontal (gum) disease. By incorporating hygienist visits into your regular dental care routine, you can stay ahead of the curve and avoid becoming one of the 19 out of 20 individuals who may suffer from gum disease during their lifetime.
- After a meticulous cleaning and an analysis of your overall gum health, your dental hygienist will provide a final touch by giving your teeth a shine and polish using a gentle, quiet air polisher, which effectively eliminates superficial stains. In cases where decay is present, your hygienist may apply fluoride or an antibacterial gel.
- In addition to the comprehensive scale and polish, your dental hygienist will conduct a thorough assessment of your overall oral health. If they identify any issues that require further attention, they will promptly refer you to your dentist for further treatment, making a visit to the hygienist an invaluable component of your oral health care routine.
