Dental Hygiene
in Ivanhoe

Dental hygiene treatment is delivered by our dentists who will, amongst other things, help to remove any hard-to-reach plaque from your teeth that may have built up over time.

Dental Hygiene
Here is what you can expect from a hygiene appointment:
  1. Your teeth and gums will be assessed to determine the amount of plaque removal required and any associated risk factors will be explained.
  2. Your teeth will be professionally cleaned with special equipment and pastes. This process is also known as ‘scaling and polishing’.
  3. The dentist's role is to then show you how to look after your teeth so that they remain plaque-free in the future. You will be advised on the best tooth brushing technique and given tips on flossing and using interdental brushes.

Dental hygiene at our practice also functions preventatively to treat gum disease and bad breath. If you have a bridge, denture, orthodontic treatment or a dental implant you may have specific hygiene needs that our dentist’s will be able to assist you with.

It is recommended that you come in for regular hygiene appointments to ensure your mouth stays clean and healthy.
