Dental Hygiene Appointments

Debris and bacteria that become trapped between your teeth and gums begin to harden over time. When left untreated, this hardened calculus (tartar) can affect the integrity of your teeth and gums, causing gum disease. Following a regular dental hygiene routine is essential for maintaining your oral health, which is why we recommend booking an appointment with one of our dental hygienists based on your needs.

Your Dental Hygiene Appointment

Your dental hygienist will work with special instruments to remove hardened calculus (tartar) from your teeth. This is also known as scaling. They will also identify areas that are prone to hard deposit buildup and suggest brushing and flossing techniques to help reduce the problem.

Dental Hygiene in the Home

You can be proactive and take measures to maintain and improve your oral health by brushing your teeth twice a day. We recommend using fluoride toothpaste and flossing at least once a day to remove food that is trapped between your teeth and gums. If you have any questions or concerns, be sure to ask your hygienist.
