Dental Hygiene Exam and Therapy
Dental Hygiene Exam
Our complimentary dental hygiene examination offers a thorough assessment designed to identify oral disease risks and progression. During this exam, we provide a diagnosis, set oral health objectives, and develop an effective treatment plan based on the expert opinions of a dental hygienist.
As part of our comprehensive evaluation, we conduct extraoral and intraoral cancer screenings and take blood pressure assessments to ensure your overall health is monitored.
We still encourage patients to visit a dentist once a year for their examinations. X-rays can be provided upon request. If you need a dentist, we can refer you to a trusted provider.
X-ray
Our digital X-ray services allow us to see below the gumline. This crucial diagnostic tool enables us to tailor the most individualized treatment plan for you, detecting issues such as periodontal disease and cavities early on. Registered dental hygienists in Alberta are permitted to diagnose decay. Should any cavities be found, we can refer you to a trusted dentist for specialized care.
Cleaning
Scaling involves the removal or plaque and tartar (calculus), leaving your teeth feeling fresh and sparkling. Regular cleanings not only enhance your smile but also maintain optimal oral health by preventing gum disease and tooth decay. Your comfort is our top priority, so we offer various numbing options, including numbing gel, and local anesthetics (freezing).
Polish and Fluoride
Polishing to help remove surface staining and plaque. Fluoride treatment protects your teeth from future cavities, ensuring continued dental strength and protection.
Desensitization
We apply a specially formulated desensitizing agent to the affected areas, which helps block pain signals from reaching the nerves of your teeth. This treatment can be administered both before and after scaling.
