Why I should see a dental hygienist regularly?
Seeing a dental hygienist regularly is necessary to maintain good oral health. Brushing and flossing daily is not enough to reach the hidden areas where tartar and plaque can build up. Our hygienists use special instruments to clean your teeth, remove tartar and plaque, and help prevent gum disease or bone loss. A dental hygienist can also advise you on products you can use to help improve your home oral hygiene routine.
