Regular visits to your hygienist for cleaning play a crucial role in maintaining oral health. Despite daily brushing, plaque can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas.
Hygienists specialize in teeth cleaning, commonly known as a ‘scale and polish.’ They are trained to provide preventive oral care and possess the tools necessary to remove plaque and calculus buildup effectively.
Scale and polish
During your scale and polish appointment, our hygienist will not only clean your teeth but also examine for early signs of gum disease. They will provide personalized guidance on improving your oral hygiene and habits.
At DSMC, we advise visiting our hygienist every 6 months for teeth cleaning and a scale and polish to effectively remove plaque buildup and reinforce good oral hygiene practices. For patients with braces, we recommend scheduling hygiene appointments more frequently to ensure optimal oral health throughout their treatment
