An essential member of your dental team is the dental hygienist. Dental hygienists are highly skilled people who provide patients with long-term oral health care. Our dental hygienists at Narwal Dentistry St. Catharines assess patients’ current oral state and review their health history. They provide patients with information on maintaining good oral health such as nutrition counselling, and correct brushing and flossing techniques. Other responsibilities may include performing an oral cancer screening, removing calculus plaque and stains from teeth, applying sealants and fluoride, and taking and developing X-rays. With a combination of clinical and interpersonal skills, a dental hygienist is a valuable part of your dental team. Call at 905-685-4003 for Dental Hygiene Services in st.
