East Gwillimbury, Ontario, patients visiting our practice will have many services provided by our hygienist team.
What Are Some Services Provided by a Dental Hygienist?
- Prophylaxis (teeth cleaning) – This procedure helps remove tartar (hardened plaque) and stains from teeth. It is essential to have this done regularly in order to maintain oral health and wellness.
- Plaque removal – Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on teeth. If it is not removed, it can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
- Fluoridated treatments – Fluoride is a mineral that helps prevent tooth decay. It can be applied as a gel, varnish, or foam.
- Dental sealants – Sealants are a type of protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. This helps prevent cavities from forming in these areas.
- X-rays – Dental X-rays detect problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, and tumours. Patients will have X-rays completed at their first appointment with our team and as needed after that.
- Oral cancer screenings – Oral cancer screenings detect early signs of cancer.
- Patient education – Last but not least, our providers will educate patients on how to care for their smiles with tips on brushing, flossing, mouthwashes, and other methods of keeping the teeth and gums clean and healthy!
