Dental Hygiene

Dental hygiene is a crucial aspect of oral health care that focuses on maintaining clean teeth, healthy gums, and a fresh breath through regular professional cleanings and good personal oral hygiene practices. It plays a significant role in preventing dental diseases and promoting overall health.

What is Dental Hygiene?

Dental hygiene involves routine practices aimed at keeping the mouth, teeth, and gums clean and healthy. This includes regular brushing and flossing at home, as well as professional cleanings and check-ups performed by a dental hygienist. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can't eliminate, preventing tooth decay and gum disease.

How Does Dental Hygiene Work?

Dental hygiene works by removing harmful bacteria and food particles from the mouth, which can lead to plaque formation and dental diseases if not properly managed. During a professional cleaning, a dental hygienist will use specialized tools to clean and polish teeth, remove tartar, and check for any signs of oral health issues. They also provide guidance on effective brushing and flossing techniques to maintain oral health between visits.
