Our highly accomplished dental hygienists are tertiary qualified dental professionals who play a vital role in your oral health care and are an intrinsic part of the Tweed Smilecare team.
Performing many procedures to help you achieve and maintain complete oral health, our hygienists through root planning and scaling remove soft and hard deposits from teeth and below your gum-line, they can advise you on how to practice good oral hygiene, and provide other preventive dental care treatments.
Another important role our hygienists perform is examining your teeth and gums for the presence of diseases or other abnormalities such as lesions that may indicate mouth cancer. They take dental x-rays; and can apply cavity-preventive agents such as fluorides and pit and fissure sealants. Our hygienists will often work in collaboration with our dentist during treatment procedures.
The relationship between diet and oral health is an area where our hygienists can explain to you the importance of a well balanced diet and the impact a diet high in sugar and starch will have on your oral health. They can also offer informative advice on the best oral health aids and products that best suit your individual needs. |
