Dental Hygiene Appointments in Halifax

Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial to keep your teeth healthy and free from decay. At Herring Cove Community Dentistry, we offer dental hygiene appointments with our experienced hygienists to ensure a thorough cleaning of your teeth.

Why Do I Need to Professionally Clean My Teeth?

Getting your teeth professionally cleaned by a dental hygienist is crucial for maintaining good oral health. This is because dental scaling helps to remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, which can be difficult to remove with regular brushing and flossing. If left untreated, bacteria in the tartar can lead to gum disease, cavities, and other dental problems.

Tips for Maintaining Your Oral Health at Home

We recommend brushing your teeth thoroughly twice a day, preferably in the morning and before going to bed. This will help to remove any plaque buildup and prevent the accumulation of tartar. Dental floss is helpful to clean between your teeth and gums, as it helps to remove food particles that brushing alone can’t reach.
