Visiting your dental hygienist is an integral part of maintaining or improving your oral health! Here's what you can expect at your dental hygiene appointment. 1 Medical History - This is a crucial step to ensure the dental hygienists are aware of any medical conditions you may have that could influence your dental hygiene care. 2 Examination - Checking the tissues in your mouth, assessing the gums' health, and screening for oral cancer. The dental hygienists will di...scuss the findings with you and determine what dental hygiene treatment is required. Any areas of concern will be referred to your dentist or another health professional such as your physician. 3 Cleaning - Your treatment will likely include scaling and root planning to remove plaque and calculus from the tooth surfaces. After this, they may polish some of the teeth to remove any remaining stains. If needed, you may receive a fluoride treatment to strengthen your teeth, prevent decay, and decrease sensitivity. 4 Treatment Plan - Based on your teeth and gums' condition, the dental hygienists will determine an appropriate ongoing care schedule and identify any other matters relating to your oral health! They will also remind you to - Brush. Floss. Rinse.

Does your child suck their thumb? In babies and young children, thumb-sucking is common and generally nothing to worry about. Most children will naturally break the habit on their own, but if they are still sucking their thumbs pretty intensely at 5 years old, it may lead to problems with their teeth and overall oral health. Contact us today if you're concerned your child's thumb-sucking. #PatientFirst #Orthodontics #TopicTuesday #Parenting #ChildrensDentalHealthMonth #TuesdayTip #Ortho #DentalHygiene #OralHealthTips #StayHealthy #HealthySmile #Healthcare #DentalCare #OralHealth #Smile

TRUTH: When it comes to brushing, there can be too much of a good thing. Brushing too often or too hard can cause your gums to recede leading to tooth sensitivity and issues down the road. Follow a regular oral health care routine and brush your teeth twice per day for two minutes to keep your gums happy and healthy. #PatientFirst #MythBusted #DentalHygiene #OralHealthTips #StayHealthy #HealthySmile #Healthcare #DentalCare #OralHealth #Smile

Along with proper brushing and flossing habits, drinking plenty of water is a great way to keep you and your mouth healthy. Drinking water not only keeps you hydrated, but also helps to flush out your mouth which reduces bacteria, acid, and food particles on your teeth and gums. #DrinkWater #Hydrate #DentalHygiene #OralHealthTips #PatientFirst #StayHealthy #HealthySmile #Healthcare #DentalCare #OralHealth #Smile
