WHY DOES MY DENTIST WANT ME TO SEE THE DENTAL HYGIENIST?

What is a dental hygienist?

A Dental Hygienist/Oral Therapist has graduated with a 3 year University Degree and is able to provide you with preventative care and gum treatment that enhance your overall oral health. They are registered dental healthcare professionals that work with the dentist to provide you with holistic dental care that is suited to your needs. They also play a special role in being able to treat cavities in children and young adults.

Importance of maintaining gum health:

Dental disease ,whether it is decay or gum disease can generally be prevented and treated by simply removing the plaque before becoming calculus. The ability for optimal home care can be challenging  and that is why hygienists are there to help and guide you to improve with oral hygiene care. Prevention is better than cure, regular maintenance of gum health with regular visits means that the hygienist is able to monitor how your gum health is so that you can prevent any future problems.
