Q: Why should I see a dental hygienist?

A dental hygienist works on a dental patient.

Taking your dental health seriously will benefit you in the future. It is always better to prevent dental troubles rather than struggling with tooth pain and other difficulties later. That’s why, at Dental Image Therapy Centres, we recommend visiting your hygienist regularly – ideally every six months. 

Cleaning And Something More

Your dental hygienist appointment isn’t just a simple teeth cleaning. A dental hygienist not only cleans your teeth, they (along with your dentist) examine your teeth and are there to teach you how to maintain a healthy oral care routine. This dental professional plays a vital role in your dental health and experience.

Benefits of Booking a Hygienist Appointment

There are many benefits to visiting your dental hygienist, not just giving your teeth a thorough cleaning so you have a bright and healthy smile. During your checkup and cleaning, don’t be afraid to ask questions regarding your oral health and hygiene and oral care product recommendations. Your hygienist and dentist can give you tips and tricks on how to take care of your teeth and mouth, and help explain the different dental treatments and procedures you may be undergoing. But one of the most important benefits of your appointment is a checkup for signs of disease and tooth decay.

Remember, to maintain your healthy smile, it is essential that you visit your hygienist regularly, and of course, brush and floss regularly.
