We celebrated our Dental Hygienist in April, recognizing all of the hard work and dedication. Our dental hygienists work hard to keep your smile healthy and help prevent oral diseases.
Our dedicated Valley View Dental hygienists are licensed professionals specializing in preventive oral healthcare. They work alongside our dentists and dental assistants to provide comprehensive dental care for you! Their duties include cleaning teeth, taking X-rays, conducting oral cancer screenings and educating patients on proper oral hygiene practices.
Preventative Care
Preventive care is crucial to maintaining good oral health, and our dental hygienists are experts in this area. By removing harmful plaque and tartar buildup in your mouth, they help prevent tooth decay and gum disease from infiltrating your smile. They also look for signs of more serious conditions such as oral cancer.
How Our Dental Hygienists Help You
We believe it’s important to recognize the hard work and dedication that goes into being a dental hygienist. These healthcare professionals complete extensive training and education to become licensed, while staying up to date on the latest dental technologies and techniques so they can give you the best care possible!
-Listening to you: Even while working hard to make sure you get good care, our dental hygienists are always happy to take the time to listen to your concerns and help you learn how to best maintain good oral health. Our dental hygienists are true advocates for you and go above and beyond to ensure your comfort and satisfaction.
-Educating you: One of the most important roles our dental hygienists fulfill is educating you on proper oral hygiene practices, like how to brush and floss correctly and giving you tips on how to maintain good oral health at home.
-Pre-empting dental issues: They also provide essential preventive care, making them powerful allies when it comes to detecting and treating oral diseases. For example, did you know they are often the first to identify signs of gum disease, oral cancer and other conditions? By catching these issues early, they can be treated before they reach an advanced stage that would mean more invasive treatment options.
