Some people place hygiene in the context of ‘just a cleaning’, much the same way as cleaning a car or a house. You do it when you have a chance to, but nothing will happen if you don’t.
There is more than meets the eye! Consistent dental hygiene appointments that are in supplementary to regular brushing and flossing at home provide a high level of preventative care in keeping your teeth at optimal health. Our Registered Dental Hygienists are licensed dental professionals that specialize in the deep cleaning of the teeth. Our hygienists make sure your gums are free of disease and your teeth are free from plaque, bacterial build-up, and tooth decay. Having a dental hygiene appointment is also a refreshing and rejuvenating experience as it improves the overall cleanliness of your mouth and freshness of your breath.
To catch signs of disease in the early stages, we conduct an oral cancer screening and overall mouth assessment at every dental hygiene appointment, allowing us to catch it when treatment is most effective. Every dental hygiene appointment includes oral cancer screening and an overall assessment of your mouth. This helps to catch any signs of disease in the early stages, when treatment can be most effective.
Our Patient Care Team at Victoriapark Dental are here to assist you with your regular dental hygiene or help break down any specific concerns you have. We take a medical history and confirm any medications you are taking or any pre-existing health issues you may have, all in our effort in providing you with the most unique and specific treatment possible.
The usual cause of bad breath in patients is neglected or improper brushing at home, and we can help you with Oral Hygiene Instruction from our hygienists or we can suggest modalities that improve dental hygiene. We can professionally clean and freshen up any dentures you may have with our disinfecting solution or our ultrasonic system.
Periodontal disease can occur due to improper or neglected brushing, and it is important for us to know if you have ever been diagnosed. If you saw us for a dental cleaning within three months and are need of another cleaning, it could be a sign that we have to have a closer look.
It is important for us at Victoriapark Dental to carefully understand in detail any reason why your mouth may not be feeling fresh. It can potentially reveal health issues that were previously unknown, or it can expose minor issues that have the potential to grow into complex and expensive problems if left untreated.
