For many people, preventing oral health care problems is their main focus. At your Dental Hygiene appointment, an assessment of the teeth, gums and all the tissues in the mouth will be done. If concerns are observed, they will be discussed. Depending on the concern, you will be referred to either a general dentist, or a dental specialist. It is recommended that a regular dentist exam occur once a year. If you can’t get an appointment with your current dentist, you can book a visit with me and still see your dentist for any dental needs.
