Most patients find a hygienist clean to be a comfortable experience, though some may experience mild discomfort, especially if they have sensitive teeth or gums. If you do feel sensitivity, let your hygienist know so they can adjust their techniques. Common causes of sensitivity, such as the suction from an ultrasonic water scaler, can often be managed with a hand scaler instead. For deeper cleanings, topical or local anaesthetics can be used to ensure a more comfortable experience.
The frequency of your visits to our dental hygienist will be recommended based on your current oral health. Typically, patients with high calculus buildup or those undergoing Invisalign treatment visit every 3 months, while those with lower levels of buildup generally see the hygienist every 6 months.
During a hygienist clean at Stella Dental, your teeth will be scaled to remove calculus and stains from the enamel. This process involves both ultrasonic water scalers and hand scalers. After removing all the buildup, your teeth will be polished, and you’ll receive instructions on maintaining good oral hygiene at home.
Oral health goes beyond just the appearance of your smile, though we recognise that is important too. Maintaining good oral hygiene prevents plaque buildup, which can lead to bacterial growth and acid damage that harms tooth enamel and causes gum disease. Untreated gum disease can result in tooth loss and has been linked to serious health conditions like kidney and heart disease. Today, good oral health is considered a crucial part of overall wellbeing and disease prevention.
