An oral hygienist plays a vital role in helping patients achieve and maintain optimal oral health, with a focus on preventing dental problems before they arise.

Here’s what the process typically involves:

• Comprehensive Assessment: Your gums and periodontal tissues are carefully evaluated to check for any signs of disease or inflammation.
• Plaque Visibility: Plaque is made visible to highlight areas you may miss during brushing, helping both you and your hygienist target those spots for cleaning.
• Personalized Guidance: You’ll receive tailored advice and motivation on improving your oral hygiene techniques, with a strong emphasis on prevention.
• Air Polishing: Plaque, stains, and early calculus are gently removed using advanced Airflow technology.
• Deep Pocket Cleaning: For gum pockets (4-9mm), plaque is removed using Perioflow, ensuring deeper levels of care when needed.
• Precision Cleaning: Remaining calculus is removed above and below the gum line, followed by a fluoride application for extra protection.
• Maintenance Plan: Your hygienist will schedule regular recalls to help you maintain healthy gums and a vibrant smile.

In addition to routine care, your hygienist may also provide other services such as oral disease screening, x-rays, clinical photography, impressions, and teeth whitening.
