What is a Dental Hygienist?

A hygienist plays a vital role in maintaining your oral health and hygiene. Our dental hygienists are trained professionals who perform thorough cleanings, remove plaque and tartar buildup, and provide preventative care to help prevent dental diseases. They will teach you how to clean and maintain your teeth at home.

Their expertise enhances individual well-being and contributes to overall public health by promoting better oral hygiene practices and reducing more serious illness in our communities. Regular hygiene visits are essential for long-term dental health.

“Good dental health improves your overall well-being.”
