Dental hygienist FAQs
What is a dental hygienist?
A dental hygienist is a licensed oral healthcare professional who specialises in preventive dental care. They are trained to perform dental cleanings, provide oral health education, and assist in treating gum disease under the supervision of a dentist.
What services does a dental hygienist provides?
Dental hygienists can provide a range of services including dental cleanings, gum disease treatment, oral health assessments, oral hygiene education, nutritional counselling, dental radiographs (X-rays), and teeth whitening treatments.
How often should I visit a dental hygienist?
It is generally recommended to visit a dental hygienist at least once every six months for routine dental cleanings and check-ups. However, the frequency may vary depending on your oral health needs. Our dental hygienist will advise you on the appropriate schedule for your specific situation.
Why is regular dental hygiene important?
Regular dental hygiene visits are important because they help remove plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth, which can lead to gum disease and tooth decay if left untreated. Dental hygienists also provide education on proper oral care techniques to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Are dental hygiene treatments painful?
Dental hygiene treatments are generally not painful. However, some individuals may experience minor discomfort or sensitivity during the cleaning process, especially if they have sensitive teeth or gum disease. Our hygienist will take steps to ensure your comfort throughout the appointment.
What are the benefits of visiting a dental hygienist?
Professional dental cleanings by a dental hygienist help remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, which cannot be effectively addressed through regular brushing and flossing alone. Regular cleanings contribute to healthier gums, fresher breath, and can help prevent dental problems.
