We are also trained to recognize oral health issues that may need to be referred to a dentist for further evaluation and treatment. In some cases, a dentist may need to evaluate a patient before allowing us to proceed with certain procedures, such as deep cleaning, scaling and root planning. If you’re not sure – contact us and we will refer to a dentist in your area.

Dental hygiene refers to the practice of maintaining oral health and preventing dental problems through various procedures such as teeth cleaning, gum care, and oral health education.

 

Dental hygiene is vital for maintaining overall oral health. Regular dental hygiene services help prevent dental issues like cavities, gum disease, and bad breath, and can contribute to better overall health.

During a dental hygiene appointment, the hygienist will perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums, remove plaque and tartar, polish your teeth, and provide oral hygiene instructions tailored to your needs.

 

At our clinic if we come across any findings that require any treatment we will let you know and refer you back to your dentist for treatment. If you do not have one we can recommend one.

The Dental Hygiene Client’s Bill of Rights, introduced by the Canadian Dental Hygienists Association, is now available to the public. This document outlines the rights of individuals when receiving dental hygiene care and provides insights into what can be expected from dental hygienists. Familiarizing yourself with these rights empowers you to make informed decisions regarding your oral health and well-being.
Bill of Rights

It is generally recommended to visit a dental hygienist at least once every six months. However, the frequency may vary based on your specific oral health needs, as determined by your dentist or dental hygienist.

 

Our clinic can provide you with take home whitening kits – just ask!

 

Yes, dental hygienists play a critical role in the treatment and prevention of gum disease. They can provide deep cleaning procedures, known as scaling and root planing, to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline

 

Dental hygienists primarily focus on preventive oral care, such as teeth cleaning, education, and maintaining oral health. Dentists, on the other hand, are trained to diagnose, treat, and manage various dental conditions, including performing complex procedures.

 

In Alberta, Canada, dental hygienists are governed by the The Alberta College of Dental Hygienists (ACDH). The ACDH is the regulatory body responsible for ensuring the competency, professionalism, and ethical standards of dental hygienists practicing in the province. It sets and enforces standards of practice, handles registration and licensure, and promotes ongoing professional development for dental hygienists in Alberta.

In Newfoundland, a similar body called the Newfoundland and Labrador College of Dental Hygienists (NLCDH) is the main regulatory body.
