Hygienist Services

At Ivydene Dental Practice, we believe that maintaining optimal oral health is the foundation of a beautiful smile. Our professional dental hygienist services play a crucial role in preventing dental disease, promoting good oral hygiene practices, and enhancing your overall well-being. Our skilled hygienists are dedicated to providing personalized care and education to help you achieve and maintain a healthy mouth.

Comprehensive Dental Cleanings

  • Regular dental cleanings are essential for preventing plaque buildup, tartar accumulation, and gum disease. Our hygienists perform thorough cleanings to remove debris and bacteria from your teeth and gums, keeping your oral health in check. We recommend scheduling cleanings every six months, or as advised by your dentist, to ensure your teeth and gums remain healthy.

Airflow Technology

One of the advanced tools we utilize in our hygienist services is Airflow technology. This innovative system employs a combination of pressurized air, water, and a specialized powder to effectively remove plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth. The Airflow system provides a thorough clean without the discomfort often associated with traditional dental cleanings. Key benefits include:

  • Gentle Cleaning: The combination of air and water minimizes discomfort, making it particularly beneficial for patients with sensitive teeth or gum conditions.
  • Effective Stain Removal: Airflow technology excels at removing extrinsic stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco, restoring the natural whiteness of your teeth.
  • Enhanced Gum Health: The Airflow system can reach deeper into the gum line, providing a more effective cleanse and promoting better overall gum health.

Periodontal Therapy

  • For patients with gum disease or those at risk, our hygienists offer specialized periodontal therapy. This intensive treatment focuses on cleaning below the gum line and may include scaling and root planning to remove plaque and tartar from the tooth roots. Our team will also provide guidance on proper home care techniques to support your healing process and improve gum health.

Oral Health Education

  • Our commitment to enhancing your oral health extends beyond the chair. Our hygienists are passionate about educating you on proper oral hygiene techniques, including brushing, flossing, and the use of mouthwash. We provide tailored advice based on your individual needs to empower you to maintain a healthy smile at home.

Preventive Care

  • In addition to cleaning, our hygienists perform essential preventive care services such as fluoride treatments and dental sealants. Fluoride varnishes help strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay, while sealants provide an extra layer of protection against cavities by sealing the grooves and pits on the chewing surfaces of molars.

Custom Treatment Plans

  • Every patient's needs are different. Our hygienists work closely with our dental team to develop personalized treatment plans that fit your oral health profile. Whether you need specialized care for sensitive gums, orthodontic considerations, or other dental conditions, we ensure that your hygiene treatment aligns with your overall dental health goals.

Exceptional Care in a Comfortable Environment

  • At Ivydene Dental Practice, we prioritize your comfort and satisfaction during your visits. Our hygienists are not only highly trained but also compassionate, ensuring that your experience is pleasant and stress-free. We take the time to listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and provide you with the care you deserve.
