Taking care of your teeth at home is a great start, brushing twice a day, flossing etc all help keep your smile healthy. But even with good daily habits, it’s still important to see a dental Hygienist regularly.
These visits are quick, gentle, and help keep your teeth and gums in great shape.
What Happens at a Dental Hygiene Visit?
At a hygiene visit, a trained dental professional will:
- Give your teeth a deep clean
- Remove any buildup that brushing can’t reach from between your teeth
- Check your gums for signs of any early issues
- Give tips to help you care for your teeth at home
It’s a simple appointment that can make a big difference for your oral health.
Why It Matters
Here’s why it’s worth going for regular visits:
1. Keep Your Smile Clean and Bright
Even with good brushing, small bits of plaque and food can stay behind. Over time, this can harden and become difficult to remove with your tooth brush alone. A deep clean can help keep your teeth looking and feeling fresh.
2. Catch Problems Early
Small issues like gum irritation or minor decay are often painless at first. Hygiene visits can help spot these early, before they turn into bigger (and a more costly) problems.
3. Stay Healthy Overall
A healthy mouth is linked to a healthy body. Regular cleaning can help reduce the risk of other health problems, such as heart issues or infections.
It’s Quick, Simple, and Worth It
A hygiene visit usually takes around 30 minutes and will leave you with a fresher mouth and cleaner teeth. Most people only need to go every 3- 6 month, but this depends on your needs.
