Why do I need to See the dental Hygienist?

Main reason is they professionally clean you teeth and remove plaque and tartar which usually lead to cavities. Cavities usually require a dental filling or the more expensive root canals and dental crowns. The cosmetic benefit is that your teeth say white and shinny and keeps bad breath away.

By seeing the hygienist frequently allows the hygienist to identify problems before they become expensive and painful ones which can some times be corrected by better at home dental care.

Dental Hygienists and Oral Health Therapists (OHTs) are specially trained members of the clinical team skilled at recognising and treating periodontal or gum problems. They also act like your very own personal dental health coach supporting your efforts and providing you with information and advice to improve you and your families overall oral health.
