Reasons to see a dental hygienist now!

There are endless reasons to see your dental hygienist regularly. Did you know that your oral cavity including the spaces between your teeth, gums, and other parts of the mouth can develop various types of bacteria? If this surprises you, imagine the types of diseases they can cause.

A dental cleaning is generally recommended to be done every 6 months (this frequency varies from patients to patients depending upon their specific requirements) to ensure these bacteria are removed and your teeth are saved. During a dental cleaning, the dental personal uses a combination of practices to ensure all the harmful gases, toxins, and residuals generated by these bacteria are killed and removed.

Protecting Your Overall Health

The oral cavity is an entryway to your body and any bacteria or disease-bearing organisms growing here can easily travel to the rest of the body. As you eat, drink, and ingest anything, it gets combined with harmful bacteria and travels to your gut causing several infections and diseases.

How we do Dental Cleaning

Our dental hygienist at Clearwater Dental Centre cares for your overall health. We have highly trained, experienced, and certified hygienist dedicated to maintaining the oral health of our patients.

During a dental hygiene session, we:

• Assess your oral hygiene:
  The dental hygienist assesses your dental and medical history to check any underlying condition that would affect the outcome of the treatment. We also inspect your mouth for any signs of bacteria, tooth decay, or gum diseases. The assessment covers your tongue, teeth, gums, back of the mouth, and all other areas.
• Scaling:
  Scaling is the process of removing plaque and calculus build-up from the teeth. It is medically known as periodontal debridement and is an important step toward achieving healthy teeth and gums. The hygienist uses a combination of hand instruments, and ultrasonic vibrating instruments to remove the build ups from your teeth.
• Stain removal and polishing:
  Once scaling is done, the dental hygienist works on removing any stains from the teeth and polishes them by using various polishing pastes. We have a few flovours to choose from.
• Fluoride treatment and desensitization:
  We provide various types of Fluoride treatment to strengthen your teeth and help with the sesitivity.
