Dental Hygiene Appointments at your Dentist in New Westminster

While brushing and flossing can help to remove some plaque build-up, older tartar is stubborn and difficult to remove. This build-up can cause infection and affect the integrity of your gums. Food particles can become easily lodged between the teeth and gums and harden over time. It is important to visit your dental hygienist regularly to maintain your oral health.

What To Expect At Your Hygiene Appointment

Our highly trained hygienists will work carefully along your gumline using special tools to remove tartar from your teeth. They are also able to polish your teeth and offer fluoride treatments which can improve the health of your teeth and reduce the risk of cavities. Most patients like to combine their visit to the hygienist with a dental exam.

Dental Hygiene at Home

During your dental scaling appointment, your hygienist will point out areas of heavy build-up and suggest brushing and flossing techniques to combat the problem. It is important that you brush your teeth twice a day and practice regular flossing for optimal benefits. If you have any questions about dental hygiene, be sure to ask your hygienist during your visit or give us a call.
