What Does A Hygienist Do?

A dental hygienist specializes in promoting clean and healthy teeth and gums, which is essential for maintaining overall dental health.

Not all dental practices have a hygienist on staff, so it’s best to check with your dentist if this option is available.

At The Dentist, our hygienist is available every Wednesday between 4pm and 8pm. Appointments last 30 minutes, and the typical treatments include:

• A thorough deep clean of the teeth and surrounding gums.
• Advice on effective oral hygiene techniques to improve and prevent oral health issues.
• Recommendations on products such as interdental brushes to remove food particles and plaque from between your teeth.

For patients with severe gum disease, our hygienist may advise the insertion of a Perio-Chip—a modern preventative treatment designed to reduce dental pocketing and gum disease.
