Dental Hygiene Visits & What to Expect
Dental hygiene visits are an invaluable tool for good oral health for many reasons. Only the professional dental tools we use can remove tartar from your teeth, and regular visits give you the chance to speak with the dentist about your oral hygiene habits. During an oral hygiene visit, you can expect the following:
- We begin your visit with a professional cleaning during which we remove plaque and tartar from your teeth. These two elements are the primary causes of gum disease and cavities.
- The dentist will show you the proper way to brush and floss, and we’ll recommend the best habits and products for your dental needs.
- We also offer additional treatment options to help protect your teeth, such as fluoride varnish. This treatment strengthens your teeth and helps to safeguard them against cavities and wear.
