Dental hygienists are preventative oral professionals who have graduated from an accredited dental hygiene program at a higher education institute. They have been trained on the best techniques to help clean teeth, remove plaque and build up, take x-rays, and apply preventive fluoride treatments. We recommend, here at Dr. Gray’s, to start seeing a hygienist sometime close to the age of 14-15.
Even though we suggest seeing a hygienist around the age of 14-15, children should still be receiving 6 month check-up and cleanings. Adults should be seen twice a year as well. Along with daily flossing and teeth brushing, this will help to keep teeth, gums, and oral hygiene at their very best!
