What to Know Before Your Dental Hygiene Appointment

Inform your hygienist of any dental or gum health concerns.

No special preparation is required, but a thorough brushing and flossing beforehand is recommended.

For patients with implants or dentures, regular hygiene visits are vital to prevent plaque and tartar buildup around them. Expecting mothers are encouraged to schedule cleanings during pregnancy planning or in the second trimester.

Patients with periodontitis should prioritize regular professional cleanings to maintain gum health and prevent further disease progression.

What Happens During the Procedure?

Examination: A detailed evaluation of your teeth and gums, including an assessment of gum pocket depth.

Cleaning: An ultrasonic tool gently removes plaque and tartar without damaging the teeth.

Polishing: Teeth are polished with an abrasive paste, followed by cleaning with dental floss.

Fluoride Treatment: The procedure concludes with the application of a fluoride gel to strengthen enamel and protect against bacteria.

The procedure is typically painless and does not require anesthesia. For sensitive teeth, surface anesthesia can be applied for added comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is dental hygiene suitable for everyone?

Yes, dental hygiene is suitable for all ages and dental conditions. It helps maintain healthy teeth and gums while preventing gum disease and plaque buildup.

How often should adults have dental hygiene treatments?

We recommend dental hygiene treatments at least twice a year. For those with gum disease, heart conditions, or smokers, quarterly visits are advised.

What are the benefits of dental hygiene for adults?

Regular hygiene prevents cavities, gum disease, and tartar buildup. It also enhances overall oral health and improves the appearance of your smile.

What are gum diseases?

Gum diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, occur when plaque accumulates around teeth and gums, leading to inflammation. Untreated gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, which may result in tooth loss if not managed. Regular cleanings and early intervention are crucial to prevent these issues.

Can dental hygiene prevent gum diseases?

Yes, regular cleanings help identify and address gum diseases early, reducing the risk of progression and tooth loss.

Are there differences between adult and child dental hygiene?

Yes. Children’s hygiene focuses on preventing cavities and caring for primary teeth to support proper development. Adult hygiene emphasizes maintaining oral health and preventing gum disease.

Can hygiene procedures damage enamel?

No, professional cleaning does not damage enamel when performed correctly. Our hygienists use specialized techniques and tools to remove plaque and tartar while protecting enamel.

Do I still need dental hygiene if I have implants or dentures?

Yes, plaque and tartar can accumulate around implants and dentures just like natural teeth. Regular cleanings help maintain gum health and prolong the lifespan of implants and prosthetics.

Will my insurance cover the costs?

Depending on your insurance policy, hygiene costs may be partially or fully covered. Present your policy during your visit for more information.
