Dental Hygiene Appointment
Dental hygiene appointment
A dental hygiene appointment is a vital aspect of maintaining good oral health and preventing dental problems. During this appointment, a dental hygienist performs various procedures to clean your teeth, remove plaque and tartar, and assess the health of your gums. Here’s why dental hygiene appointments are important:
Prevention of Gum Disease which can lead to tooth loss
Addressing Calculus Build-Up,
Restoring Gum Health
Preventing Tooth Decay
Removing surface stains
Periodontal Therapy
Periodontal Disease develops as gum disease advances, causing deterioration of the tooth-supporting bone. Pockets form around the teeth, fostering the accumulation of food particles, bacteria, and calculus. Without proper intervention, persistent inflammation of the gums ensues, resulting in progressive bone loss. Eventually, teeth may loosen, infections can occur, and tooth loss becomes a real possibility.
The management of this disease starts with a check up where we can assess the severity, rate of progression and possible risk factors that are unique to you.
Management Starts with a clean on the tops of the teeth and then if appropriate underneath the gums in specific areas. Then the management continues with enhanced brushing techniques and prevention which your dentist or hygienist will go through with you.
