Dental Hygiene


Dental hygiene is not something done with one simple visit to the dentist for an exam and cleaning. We believe in helping you maintain oral health throughout life. With thorough knowledge and understanding of your oral hygiene practices and how to best care for your gums, teeth, and mouth, you can keep them protected for your entire life.

Why is dental hygiene crucial?

Dental hygiene is essential for the long-term care of your teeth, gums, and mouth. These habits start young and carry through adulthood and into our older years. The better oral care you have throughout your life, the better off you’ll be as you age. With a hygienist cleaning, you’ll have your teeth cleaned, flossed, and scraped for the removal of plaque and tartar build-up.

Who provides services for dental hygiene?

Our dental hygienists, as well as our dentist, all collectively contribute to your oral care plan. We are a team and work to ensure your teeth are well-cleaned, maintained, cared for, and repaired. All of our dental hygienists are highly-trained with the professionalism expected to provide you with comfortable and thorough care.

Will I see my dentist or only my hygienist during a visit?

During a visit to our facility, you will generally always been seen by the dentist, even if your primary appointment is with the hygienist. A dental hygienist cannot diagnose or treat most conditions. However, they will be responsible for helping to treat, clean, and remove build-up on the teeth and gums. If your hygienist detects areas of concern, they will bring it up to the dentist, and the dentist will also inspect and exam for any potential issues. 

Both provide comprehensive care to each patient, and we always maintain the utmost levels of quality, training, and technology at our facility to ensure our patients receive the best care.
