The #1 Dental Hygiene Myth
“If I brush and floss every day, I don’t need my teeth cleaned by a hygienist!”
We hear this all the time
But the truth is, even with the best at-home care, plaque and tartar still build up in hard-to-reach areas over time.
That’s why professional dental hygiene treatments are essential to keep your teeth and gums truly healthy.
Did you know that plaque left unchecked can harden into tartar, leading to staining, bad breath, gum disease, and even tooth loss if not properly removed?
And you can’t brush or floss tartar away!
That’s where we come in.

Remove deep-set plaque and tartar before they cause problems

Signs You Might Need A Hygiene Appointment
You may already have gum disease or plaque buildup if you notice:
What To Expect At Your Hygiene Appointment
Scaling & Polishing
Even with perfect brushing, some areas are impossible to clean fully at home.
We use professional tools to remove built-up tartar, plaque, and surface stains, leaving your teeth smooth, clean, and refreshed.
Root Planing & Deep Cleaning
For those with gum disease or deep pockets, we offer root planing and scaling:
A specialized treatment that cleans below the gumline, removing bacteria and smoothing tooth roots so gums can heal and reattach properly.
Professional Stain Removal
Got stains from tea, coffee, wine, or smoking?
Our professional air abrasion treatment blasts away stubborn stains, leaving your teeth looking clean, bright, and refreshed without whitening treatments.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have a hygiene appointment?
For most people, every six months is ideal. If you have gum disease or a history of heavy plaque buildup, we may recommend appointments every 3-4 months.
Does dental hygiene treatment hurt?
No! Scaling and polishing is gentle and pain-free. If you have sensitive teeth or require deep cleaning, we can use numbing gel or local anesthetic to keep you comfortable.
What’s the difference between a hygienist and a dentist?
A hygienist specializes in cleaning teeth and preventing gum disease, while a dentist focuses on diagnosing and treating problems like cavities and tooth decay. Both work together to keep your smile healthy.
