How to visit the hygienist less…

When you have just seen the hygienist, I bet your teeth look and feel great… and then you visit the hygienist again in 6 months and she tells you the same thing - that you need to brush more thoroughly or use certain tools better to remove more plaque. It can give you the feeling that nothing has improved or changed in 6 months and you loose motivation.

An oral health therapy session could make all the difference, ask your dentist about it.

With excellent home maintenance, you can do 99% of the cleaning required to keep your teeth and gums healthy by removing the soft plaque more effectively.

If you want to see the hygienist less often it may be a matter of learning a very good brushing technique and to be able to use specialised cleaning tools correctly at home. It needs to be monitored carefully so you get feed back if the home cleaning is really improving.

An oral health therapy session could save you money, keep your gums healthy, make your teeth last longer and your mouth feel fresh.
