What Happens at a Dental Hygiene and Teeth Cleaning Appointment?

Heritage Dental Centre is committed to promoting a lifetime of optimal oral health and wellness! During a dental hygiene and teeth cleaning appointment, our professional team conducts a comprehensive examination, beginning with a review of your dental and medical history to address any concerns or changes in your health. We then examine your teeth and gums for signs of cavities, gum disease and other oral issues.

Following the examination, we perform a professional teeth cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup. Using specialized tools, we meticulously scale deposits from the surface of your teeth and along the gumline to help prevent gum disease and cavities. After scaling, we polish your teeth with a special gritty toothpaste to leave them smooth and shiny. We can also provide fluoride treatment for added protection.

Finally, we offer personalized oral hygiene instructions where we guide you on effective brushing and flossing techniques to maintain a healthy smile between visits. Regular dental hygiene appointments are essential for preventing oral health issues and ensuring a clean and vibrant smile, and Heritage Dental Centre is here to support you every step of the way!

How Often Should You Have a Dental Hygiene and Cleaning Appointment?

Heritage Dental Centre recognizes the importance of customizing hygiene and check-up schedules to fit individual needs. While most patients benefit from visits every 6 months, some may require appointments every 3-4 months, and others might extend to every 9-12 months. Factors such as home care practices, genetics, grinding habits, susceptibility to cavities and tooth positioning all influence the ideal schedule for your oral health. Those with gum disease, heavy staining, loose teeth, underlying health issues or significant calculus buildup may need more frequent cleanings to maintain optimal oral health. Our dedicated team at Heritage Dental Centre will work closely with you to establish a personalized professional hygiene and teeth cleaning schedule tailored to your unique needs, ensuring your oral health and wellness are optimized for a lifetime.
