What Is Dental Hygiene?
Dental hygiene appointments focus on preventing dental disease before it develops. Professional cleaning removes plaque and hardened tartar that cannot be removed by brushing alone, helping reduce the risk of tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath.
Regular hygiene visits also provide valuable guidance on maintaining healthy teeth and gums between appointments.
