A comprehensive and periodic exam is always carried out by your Dentist. Your hygiene (clean) appointment will always be carried out by your Oral Health Therapist (OHT.) An OHT's expertise in oral hygiene and preventive care. They also have the ability to provide a range of dental services that contribute to the overall oral health of patients is invaluable. OHTs enhance patient education, promote preventive practices, and enable collaborative and efficient dental care within the practice. Without them, we wouldn’t have a hygiene department, and our patients wouldn’t be fortunate enough to receive bespoke care in a safe environment. OHTs are trained to provide preventative care to patients of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults. Think of it this way, your dentist studies for 5 years to learn all areas of general dentistry, your OHT studies for 3 years to learn solely about oral hygiene and preventive dentistry. This training ensures that patients of all ages can receive appropriate and tailored care within Admire Dentistry. Our OHTs also aim to empower you with the knowledge to make the best decisions about your oral health. It is for these reasons at Admire Dentistry, you will always see your OHT for your regular preventative and hygiene appointments. Our OHTs provide you with the best oral hygiene maintenance so that our dentists can provide you with specialised care in all other areas.
