During your visit, both a dentist and a dental hygienist will see for you. The dentist will examine your mouth for oral cancer or other issues, review your health history, assess the hygienist’s cleaning, diagnose any problems, and recommend treatments. The hygienist will examine your gums and teeth, update your health records, clean and polish your teeth, provide oral care tips, and address any questions about home care products.
While daily brushing and flossing help remove plaque, only a professional cleaning by a dentist or hygienist can remove hardened plaque (calculus or tartar) effectively. Hygienists typically use metal hand instruments or ultrasonic scalers for a thorough cleaning above and below the gum line.
