At Copperstone Dental, our Dental Hygiene team is there to exceed your expectations by providing our patients with a relaxing dental hygiene experience. Our Dental Hygienists also educate our patients on the importance of dental & oral health to learn how to maintain healthy teeth and gums between appointments.
While not only beneficial for appearance’s sake, numerous health benefits are derived from a regular dental exam of your teeth.
First, maintaining a regular dental exam schedule with us will ensure that any potential dental issues are quickly identified and treated before they can turn into painful and highly expensive medical issues that may require surgery or permanent treatment options.
When you visit Copperstone Dental for your SE Calgary Dental Hygiene Therapy, our team of dental hygienists will clean your teeth both above the gum line, which is known as scaling, and below the gum line, using a technique called root planing. We use both traditional hand scalers and our ultrasonic scaling tools to remove calcium deposits, called calculus, from your teeth.
In addition to your thorough teeth cleaning above and below the gum line, your Copperstone Dental Hygienist will complete some oral treatments which include:
Your Calgary Dental Hygiene Therapy also includes an examination by Dr. Tonny Tang to evaluate the current health of your teeth, gums, and surrounding tissue.
Your hygiene therapy needs can depend on several factors. If your teeth are more susceptible to the accumulation of plaque and calculus, if you have crowded teeth, or if you have advanced gum disease, the frequency of your visits may not match the other members of your family. Our dental team evaluates every patient on an individual basis to determine the dental hygiene schedule that will best meet the specific needs of our patients. Most patients visit Copperstone Dental for their dental hygiene appointments every 6 months, but some people may benefit from a hygiene visit every 3-4 months. Others may only require a hygiene appointment every 9 to 12 months. The dental hygienists at Copperstone Dental will advise you on how often you should visit our SE Calgary dental practice to maintain your oral health and wellness.
If maintaining the health of your teeth and gums for a lifetime of dental wellness is important to you, our SE Calgary Dental Hygiene Therapy will help you achieve your goal for optimum dental health.
