Dental Hygiene Appointments in Red Deer

Good oral health requires good oral hygiene. Flossing and brushing at home is a great step in maintaining your oral health. Another great step is regular hygiene appointments. Your hygienist will clean and floss your teeth and may include fluoride in your treatment. This thorough cleaning goes a long way in keeping your smile bright.

Why Schedule Regular Cleanings

Many people wonder why hygienist appointments are necessary if good hygiene is practiced at home. There are many reasons to supplement your home practices with professional care. Your dental hygienist is not only skillfully trained but is part of a regulatory body that ensures you always receive the highest quality of care. This care also plays a big role in preventative oral care. Regular appointments with your hygienist can help with the prevention of tooth decay and oral disease as well as cancer screening. Regular cleanings also promote better overall physical health.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

As with all appointments at Village Mall Dental, your visit will start at reception. Once we have you checked in your dental hygienist will clean your teeth and gums. This involves removing plaque and tartar that have built up over time. Your hygienist may also apply fluoride treatment and will assess the health of your teeth, gums, and tongue. X-rays may also be taken during hygienist appointments.
