Dental Hygienist
A dental hygienist focuses on preventing and treating tooth decay and gum diseases. At Mondzorg de Meer we have an in-house dental hygienist who helps you maintain optimal oral health.
The treatments provided by a dental hygienist focus on preventing cavities (caries) and gum diseases. Additionally, the dental hygienist performs procedures that aid in healing gum issues and restoring a healthy mouth. This includes assessing the condition of the gums and jawbone to detect potential problems early.
In addition to treatments, the dental hygienist also provides advice on oral care, the causes of cavities and gum diseases, and the impact of dietary habits on dental health. By promoting good oral hygiene and offering preventive care, we help prevent future problems.
What does a dental hygienist do?
The work of a dental hygienist focuses on both preventive and curative oral care. This means that the hygienist not only helps prevent issues such as cavities (caries) and gum infections but also performs treatments to address existing conditions.
During an appointment, the dental hygienist assesses the health of your gums and jawbone. This involves a thorough examination of your teeth, checking for inflammation, plaque buildup, and any bone loss. Additionally, the hygienist performs various treatments, such as removing plaque and tartar, cleaning the spaces between your teeth and molars, and polishing your teeth to remove stains.
In addition to treatments, the dental hygienist provides guidance on optimal oral care. This includes advice on brushing techniques, the use of floss or interdental brushes, and the impact of diet on your teeth. Through this preventive care, many issues such as gum inflammation and tooth decay can be avoided.
