PREVENTATIVE HYGIENISTS CARE

We believe that the most important service that we can offer you without exception is our prevention program. It is the key to long term dental health. Barring an accident there are only three ways to lose your teeth...

Decay
Gum and bone disease
Problems with the way your teeth fit together

Our hygienist will explain the causes of dental disease and help you develop the skills necessary to control these diseases. Then, depending on your needs we will establish a continuing care program specifically for you with the aim of improving dental health and eliminating dental problems.

An appointment with the hygienist is much more than oral hygiene instruction and education. Hygienists perform the following services...

Scaling and cleaning, polishing teeth
Nutritional counselling
Fluoride application
Fissure sealants
Complete health assessment including oral cancer screening
Non surgical treatment of periodontal disease
