The primary goal of dental hygiene treatment is to maintain healthy teeth and gums by removing plaque and tartar build-up, identifying and treating gum disease, and providing education on proper oral hygiene practices.

STANDARD SCALE & POLISH

This typically includes a combination of cleaning, scaling, and polishing procedures. During cleaning, the hygienist removes plaque and tartar from the teeth and gums, which are areas that are difficult to reach with regular brushing and flossing. Scaling involves using specialized tools to remove hardened calculus from the teeth, while polishing uses a rotating brush and a special paste to smooth the teeth and remove surface stains. Overall, a dental hygiene treatment plan is tailored to each patient’s individual needs, taking into account their current oral health status, medical history, lifestyle factors, and personal preferences.
