The Dental hygienist is mainly focused on supporting patients in preventing dental disease and actively treating periodontal (gum) disease.
Hygienists help to provide advice on diet, lifestyle and oral hygiene maintenance techniques which can have a major effect in long term oral health for patients.
Gum health and oral health is being increasingly linked with many major systematic diseases so the importance of these visits is certainly increasing for patients potentially at risk of some diseases.
Furthermore the hygienist can provide that ‘dentist clean feeling’ as well as stain removal of tea,coffee or tobacco etc.
