If you have plaque or calculus build-up, staining, concerns about your gums or simply want help maintaining your oral hygiene, a dental hygiene appointment can be a useful part of your regular dental care.
What Does a Dental Hygienist Do?
A dental hygienist helps patients maintain good oral health by providing professional cleaning and personalised oral hygiene advice.
During an appointment, the hygienist may assess the condition of your teeth and gums, remove plaque and calculus, help reduce surface staining and discuss ways to improve your daily oral hygiene routine.
If the hygienist identifies an issue that requires assessment outside their scope of practice, they can advise you to see a dentist for further examination.
