Visiting your hygienist regularly for cleaning is very important in keeping your mouth healthy. Even if you clean your teeth every day, plaque can still build up in areas that are difficult to reach with your toothbrush alone.
Your hygienist is the expert in cleaning the teeth, often called a ‘scale and polish’. They are especially trained to carry out preventative oral care and they have all the tools to remove the buildup of plaque and calculus.
During your scale and polish appointment, our hygienist will look for early signs of gum disease and will discuss ways to improve your personal oral hygiene and oral habits.
At the Dental Studio, we recommend visiting our hygienist every 6 months to remove plaque buildup and reinforce good cleaning habits. For patients wearing braces, we advise them to schedule their hygiene appointments more frequently to keep their teeth in great health during their treatment.
Here at the Dental Studio, we’d love to keep your smile white indefinitely. We do not charge our loyal patients for further whitening and we just give them whitening gels at no cost as part of our Whitening for Life Program.
