About UsA dental hygienist is an oral health expert who helps in the prevention and treatment of gum related dental diseases. The oral hygienists carry out their work under general supervision only from a licensed dentist. The hygienists play a vital role in dental teams and their workload plays a significant role when combined with the dentist and allow dentist to perform their advanced procedures. So, it is quite common for the hygienists to perform different preventive dental treatments in the office such as cleaning teeth, assessing patients for oral diseases and other preventative dental care needs. They also give proper education to patients on various ways to improve as well as maintain good oral health and hygiene.
One of the major differences between your dentist and the hygienist is the overall function of their own roles. You need to spend some time with your dentist when there is a problem which can be you require in depth for infection or there is a cavity that should be filled. On the other hand, a dental hygienist will help to maintain preventative care and prevent other significant issues. He is usually responsible for cleaning teeth during a dental appointment. The hygienists scrapes tartar and then plaque off from the teeth as well as polish them. He will also perform X-rays of gums and teeth by providing fluoride to patients and then use the sealants to your teeth for getting rid of cavities. The hygienist might be reviewing different ways to take proper care of teeth and overall dental health at home. He will give valuable tips on several ways to brush properly and floss daily as well as what foods you can eat and avoid for your strong and healthy mouth.

Your dental hygienist is likely to question you about your oral health before they look in your mouth. They will also screen for cancer by looking for any suspicious lesions in your mouth and will also examine the skin around the mouth for any abnormalities.
Next your hygienist they will evaluate any risk or evidence of periodontal disease by examining the skin around the gum line. They will also look for any decay and identify and evaluate any other dental problem that they see.
We offer our patients 3 levels of dental hygiene treatment:
This is polishing and scaling where any tartar or plaque will be removed often in one appointment although if the situation is more complex it may be in a set of appointments.
This level of dental hygiene involves treatment stain removal being carried out with Airflow. We find that the Airflow technique gives really excellent results and our clients are always pleased with how clean that teeth look after treatment with Airflow. This treatment is particularly good at removing stains from hard-to-reach places. Where patients have severe gingivitis, the hygienist treatment may be needed with deep scaling that can be conducted under a local anaesthetic.
If a patient has advanced periodontitis, our hygienist can apply periodontal therapy with laser that will be used in conjunction with other procedures to help patients with gum disease. If a patient does undergo a course of treatment for periodontitis, the hygienist will watch them carefully over the following three months to ensure that the improvement is maintained. If the patient has any persistent pockets or resistant sites of periodontitis we can apply a localised treatment that will resolve the problem.
The third level of our hygienist dental treatment is really aimed at an intervention where there is gum disease. We find that if these cases are managed carefully surgery can be avoided.
A scale and polish is a comprehensive tooth cleaning method carried out by a dental hygienist. The method usually has two steps.
Firstly, scraping is done to eliminate tartar and plaque from around your teeth. This is called scaling which can be done with a piece of electric equipment that oscillates at great speed. This instrument consists of a sharp tip which usually emits a jet of water which is perfect for removing calculus and plaque. Sometimes, the unwanted stains can be stubborn, and additional work and treatment may be needed. In this case, the hygienist uses manual instruments which enable them to access harder to reach areas. Some instruments just ‘do the job’ for specific areas of the mouth.
When the hygienist finds your teeth have been descaled to the best possible standard, your teeth will be polished. Your hygienist uses a rotating pad and good toothpaste for cleaning the teeth including those hard-to-reach areas which are really difficult to do when you clean them yourself This special polishing method further protects your teeth by giving a comprehensive clean.
Airflow therapy is a dental hygiene treatment which removes stains, plaque and discoloration with water, fine powder particles and compressed air. The three components can be combined in a high-powered jet that removes stains gently from your teeth including hard reaching areas and biofilm from below as well as above your gum line. Dental plaque is a biofilm of harmful bacteria which can grow on the surface within your mouth.
This innovative spray technology will be enable access to all hard-to-reach areas to remove damaging biofilm effectively which develops above and below the gum and will improve oral health. With airflow therapy, stains and build up are removed painlessly and prevented from becoming harmful for a period of about 90 days.
Seeing your dental hygienist can provide several benefits that will make you feel happy and healthy. Whether or not you want to visit a hygienist, healthy teeth are essential for your beautiful smile and the sense of improved confidence comes with it. Are you avoiding the dental hygienist’s chair for quite some time? Below are some reasons why you need to visit a dental hygienist from time to time:
You can treat gum disease when it is detected at early stages. When your gum disease develops into the later stages, it might lead to severe bleeding, bad breath, loss of teeth and painful gums. Your hygienist will be treating gum disease and give you proper knowledge of how to prevent it at home.
Bad breath, also known as halitosis, occurs due to an underlying dental problem. The odor usually occurs due to the formation of plague or bacteria around your teeth or under the gum line. If your bad breath had occurred due to the latter, then a dental hygienist can only solve the problem.
You might develop unwanted stain marks by using the teeth in due course. The external stains which are there on the teeth cannot be removed through brushing. These stains are found when you drink tea, red wine, coffee, tobacco and other colored foods or drinks. A dental hygienist can remove the stains to restore the color of your teeth.
Other than the scale and polish, your dental hygienist will detect for early signs of oral cancer. Oral cancer can be treated when detected early. He will give valuable advice on the risk factors of oral cancer and how to lessen them. You are at greater risk if you are a smoker, drink too much alcohol or have been infected with HPV virus.

When looking for a dental hygienist near me, we provide the following suggestions:
Good oral hygiene means taking care of your teeth and gums which include proper cleaning routine and a diet without large amounts of sugary foods.

You can use an electric toothbrush and flossing to clean teeth thoroughly and clean hard to reach areas.

If gum disease occurs and it is not treated on time, then this can worsen high blood sugar level and heart disease. After getting proper dental care and treatment at our clinic, you can maintain good hygiene habits. This ensures your treatment won’t be affected and lead to serious concerns.

Maintaining good dental hygiene can help to lessen the risk associated with gum disease. This can affect your teeth and mouth as bacteria can enter into the bloodstream and lead to serious problems all over the body.

Though your teeth may appear to be in good condition, there can be several dental problems. Some oral health complications cannot be detected from naked eyes and you need to see a hygienist for in-depth examination to ensure everything is progressing well. Hard and soft tissue can help to maintain areas and prevent the problem of oral cavity.
Yes, when you have cleaned properly, you need to avoid taking stained foods for at least two hours. This may include – tea, coffee, cigarettes, red wine, beetroot, etc.
Plaque is a kind of bacteria which adheres easily onto your teeth. This soft and sticky material leads to gum disease and tooth decay. It is necessary to eliminate soft plaque with brushing and flossing to prevent the problem of tooth decay and oral disease. If you do not clean plaque is daily, it becomes hard and turns into tartar.
Tartar or calculus is hard calcified deposit that adheres strongly to your teeth. The tartar builds onto itself and may adhere to the tooth above and below the gumline. If it is not scaled off completely, it can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Tartar is quite hard and cannot come off with brushing or flossing. But you need a trained professional to remove it without damaging gums or tooth surface.
Some dentists perform this kind of work but the hygienist has been trained to carry out hygiene therapies and spend longer time with you. They will encourage as well as motivate you on how to look after the teeth and gums.
There will be the buildup of a sticky film of plague on the teeth all through the day. This consists of bacteria which can be turned into an acid and reacts with the sugar in our food. The plaque can be removed by brushing teeth two times in a day but you would be able to clean hard-to-reach areas. When the plaque forms in due course, it gets hardened into a substance which is called tartar or calculus. Being a hard substance, it is difficult to remove through brushing and this is when the scale and polish method comes in.
No, the scale and polish procedure won’t hurt, but you might feel unusual sensations within your mouth. This will include a tickling feeling or scraping sensation in the gums. You can use a numbing gel when you feel nervous about the dental pain. If you are extremely worried about the scale and polish to be painful, then you need to speak with the receptionist for booking your appointment and they will inform your dental hygienist about it.
Individual can experience pain for one to two days after thorough cleaning. Teeth sensitivity is common and your gums might be tender, swollen and bleed.

More dental treatments are suggested if you require a deeper cleaning. Good dental care at home can keep your gum disease from either becoming serious or recurring. An individual should brush teeth two times in a day by using soft brush. Make sure you clean between the teeth regularly, avoid taking tobacco and take a well-balanced diet as well as see a dentist, as and when needed.
According to dental experts, both kids and adults should perform teeth cleaning and mouth examination two times in a year. Patients who have a past history of periodontal disease or another recurring oral disease will need to perform frequent treatments.
Our mouth is full of bacteria and different forms of bacteria seem to be beneficial for your dental health, while some can be really damaging. When there are harmful bacteria on the teeth, they produce acids which can erode the enamel and break down and inflame gums. This can lead to tooth decay, periodontal disease, tooth loss and discoloration. Other oral diseases might develop from these conditions and make sure you maintain good hygiene habits at home. At the same time, you should do oral cleanings regularly to eliminate plaque, tartar and bacteria from your mouth. This can keep your teeth and gums strong and healthy.

This can be anytime between 3 months to every year. Since each person is different, so the mouth will be different too. So, it will depend on how well or unwell you keep your mouth and how you follow home care routine. If the gums bleed at the time of brushing, flossing or eating, then you need to visit a hygienist as the gum disease can occur again.
The bone and gums form the foundation for your teeth and taking proper care is important for your oral health. The bacteria might accumulate on the teeth regularly and the hygienist removes harmful calculus and plaque to maintain dental health. You need to see your hygienist regularly and keep your teeth in good condition. This can help in giving you fresh breath and improving your overall appearance.
