Regular Dental Hygiene Appointments for Optimum Oral Health
When you visit South Calgary Dental & Orthodontics for your Calgary township dental hygiene, our team of dental hygienists will clean your teeth both above the gum line, which is known as scaling, and below the gum line, using a technique called root planing. We use both traditional hand scalers and our ultrasonic scaling tools to remove calcium deposits, called calculus, from your teeth.
In addition to your thorough teeth cleaning above and below the gum line, your South Calgary Dental Hygienist will complete some oral treatments which include:
- A comprehensive periodontal assessment, checking for gum recession, the presence of gingivitis, and possible gum disease
- Polishing your teeth to remove hard to remove surface stains
- Fluoride treatment which strengthens the enamel in areas that may be weak
- An extra-oral exam at least once a year to check the head, neck, and jaw areas for abnormalities
- An oral cancer screening that checks the gum tissues, tongue, and lips for signs of oral cancer
- Take diagnostic digital X-rays [when needed]
How Often Should I Have a Dental Hygiene Visit?
Your SE Calgary hygiene therapy needs depend on several factors. If your teeth are more susceptible to the accumulation of plaque and calculus, if you have crowded teeth, or if you have advanced gum disease, the frequency of your visits may not match the other members of your family. Our dental team evaluates every patient on an individual basis to determine the dental hygiene schedule that will best meet the specific needs of our patients. Most patients visit South Calgary Dental & Orthodontics for their dental hygiene appointments every 6 months, but some people may benefit from a hygiene visit every 3-4 months. Others may only require a hygiene appointment every 9 to 12 months. The Calgary township dental hygiene at South Calgary Dental & Orthodontics will advise you on how often you should visit our SE Calgary dental hygiene practice to maintain your oral health and wellness.
